Vice President Kamala Harris expressed concern over the civilian casualties in Gaza following an Israeli strike on a school and mosque that resulted in the deaths of at least 93 Palestinians. Harris emphasized the importance of Israel's right to target Hamas terrorists while also urging them to take measures to avoid civilian casualties.
The strike, which targeted the Al-Tabi'in compound in Gaza City, occurred during dawn prayers, leading to a tragic loss of life. Israel confirmed its involvement in the operation, citing Hamas presence in the area.
Harris called for the immediate release of hostages and stressed the urgent need for a ceasefire to end the violence in Gaza. She highlighted the complexity of the situation, acknowledging the challenges faced by both the Biden administration and diplomatic efforts in the region.
While Harris and the White House are actively working towards a ceasefire agreement, the final decision lies with Hamas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The ongoing conflict underscores the delicate balance between addressing security concerns and minimizing civilian casualties in the region.
