    The president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done

    - Kamala Harris

    now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done.

    - Kamala Harris

    We’re not going to stop in terms of putting that pressure on Israel and in the region including Arab leaders

    - Kamala Harris

    it is time for this war to end and end in a way where Israel is secure, all the hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can exercise their right to freedom, dignity and self-determination.

    - Kamala Harris

      My bad. I guess she mentioned it more than twice.

      But in my defense I don’t think I need to remember all the empty words. You’re working with the president around the clock for a ceasefire and the outcome is an 8 billion military aid package for Israel and further escalations by Isreal? She can say all the thoughts and prayers she wants but it doesn’t change that the administration she’s a part of made no progress on a ceasefire.

      If you think she would’ve done a ceasefire after being elected you’re huffing pure copium. If a ceasefire was on the card the ceasefire would’ve happened already . You don’t run on “I know our party is currently in office and can pressure for a ceasefire and we can’t or won’t do anything, however if you elect me then next year we’ll do something.”

      Just look at the rally from where the first 2 quotes are from. They’re actually part of the same quote and I’ll add the quote in full.

      I have been clear: now is the time to get a cease-fire deal and get the hostage deal done. Now is the time, and the president and I are working around the clock every day to get that cease-fire deal done and bring the hostages home. So, I respect your voices, but we are here to now talk about this race in 2024.

      Translation. We hear you but we don’t want to address it.
