Harris: US has no intention of sending troops

Vice President Kamala Harris said that the US has no intention of sending combat troops to Israel or Gaza amid the ongoing war.

This is a very important and timely topic that has implications for the US role and strategy in the region.

Here is a summary of what I found:

Harris made this statement in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired on Sunday, October 29, 2023¹ ² ³.
Harris reiterated the position of the Biden administration that Israel has a right to defend itself against the Hamas attack that killed more than 1,400 Israeli citizens on October 7, 2023¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵.
Harris also condemned the Hamas attacks and called for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, but did not publicly pressure Israel to stop its bombing campaign on Gaza, which has killed more than 4,200 Palestinians and displaced more than 1 million¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵.
Harris said that it is very important that there be no conflation between Hamas and the Palestinians, and that the Palestinians deserve equal measures of safety and security, self-determination and dignity¹ ² ³.
Harris also stressed the importance of adhering to the rules of war and providing humanitarian aid to Gaza through all necessary measures, including humanitarian corridors and pauses¹ ² ³.
Harris also warned Iran not to get involved in the war, saying “Don’t. One word. Pretty straightforward.”¹ ².
