Democratic Sen. Cory Booker recently spoke out in defense of the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, praising their efforts as extraordinary despite facing criticism from progressive factions within the Democratic Party.
Booker emphasized the administration's commitment to ending the ongoing conflict and preventing its escalation within the region. He particularly highlighted Vice President Kamala Harris' role in these efforts, even as she is speculated to be a potential presidential candidate in the future.
During the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, a group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators protested against the US support for Israel in its conflict with Hamas. Responding to concerns about the absence of a Palestinian-American speaker at the convention, Booker defended the DNC's handling of the situation, stating that they effectively addressed the conflict.
Booker commended the convention for repeatedly addressing the conflict, with various speakers including Vice President Harris, Senator Raphael Warnock, and former Presidents underscoring the urgency of resolving the conflict, achieving a ceasefire, alleviating Palestinian suffering, and securing the release of hostages, including Americans.
