United States Vice President Kamala Harris has urged for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza, while offering a rare criticism of Israel. "Given the immense scale of suffering in Gaza, there must be an immediate ceasefire for at least the next six weeks, which is what is currently on the table,” Harris said on Sunday.
Harris emphasized the necessity for the release of hostages and the provision of substantial aid, Al Jazeera reported. She also called for Israel to facilitate the delivery of aid by opening new border crossings and refraining from imposing “unnecessary restrictions.”
