Kamala Harris aides reject Israel arms embargo, refuting 'Uncommitted' activists

Uncommitted campaign says Democratic nominee will lead a 'more humane' policy on Gaza despite arms embargo snub.

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris' team has publicly disavowed suggestions that she is open to an arms embargo on Israel, a day after progressive activists described an "openness" from the vice president to discuss regulating military aid to Israel. In a statement from Harris' campaign, the US vice president said that she "has been clear: she will always work to ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups". On Thursday morning, Phil Gordon, Harris' national security advisor in her capacity as vice president, issued an additional clarification, writing on social media platform X that Harris "does not support an arms embargo on Israel". The statements from Harris' teams are in contradiction to a statement on Wednesday issued by Layla Elabed and Abbas Alawieh, founders of the Uncommitted national movement, that has sought to push the Democratic Party to change its policies on Israel's war on Gaza. The Uncommitted activists said they spoke briefly with Harris and her vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, and said Harris "shared her sympathies and expressed an openness to a meeting with Uncommitted leaders to discuss an arms embargo".
