thehill | Harris camp shuts down talk of Israel arms embargo (08.08.24)
A top aide to Vice President Harris said Thursday that the Democratic presidential nominee does not support an arms embargo on Israel, after the Uncommitted National Movement suggested she was open to discussing a total ban on weapons deliveries from the U.S.  Phil Gordon, Harris's national security adviser, reiterated her opposition to an arms embargo in a Thursday post on the social platform X. "@VP has been clear: she will always ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups. She does not support an arms embargo on Israel. She will continue to work to protect civilians in Gaza and to uphold international humanitarian law," he wrote.
