Netanyahu reportedly upset with Harris over VP’s Israel remarks as White House pushes back
Fox News
An aide for Vice President Kamala Harris is pushing back on reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is upset over her comments about the war in Gaza.
Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
The official added that, in their view, Netanyahu was irked with Harris speaking about a hostage and ceasefire deal as a way to end the war outright, when Israel wants to be able to resume fighting after one is implemented.
"When our enemies see the U.S. and Israel are aligned it increases the chances for a hostage deal and decreases the chances for a regional escalation," the Israeli official told Axios. "When there is such daylight it pushes the deal further away and brings a regional escalation closer. We hope that Harris' public criticism of Israel won't give Hamas the impression that there is daylight between the U.S. and Israel and as a result make it harder to get a deal."
