Kamala Harris says US has not ruled out 'consequences' if Israel invades Rafah

[havoc00]

In a wide-ranging new interview with ABC News, Vice President Kamala Harris suggested there could be "consequences" for Israel if it moves ahead with a planned invasion of Rafah in its pursuit of Hamas fighters.

The city, on Gaza's southern border with Egypt, is thought to currently have some 1.4 million people in it.

According to the U.N., many Palestinians fled there from elsewhere in the territory amid the ongoing war, sparked by Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack.

"We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake," Harris told ABC News' Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott in part of the interview that aired Sunday on "This Week."

"Let me tell you something: I have studied the maps. There's nowhere for those folks to go," Harris said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this month he'd approved a plan to invade Rafah, an announcement that prompted President Joe Biden to relay what the White House called "deep concerns" about the safety of the many civilians sheltering in the city.

Tens of thousands of people have died in Gaza so far, according to the Hamas-run health ministry there.

Netanyahu has maintained that going into Rafah is necessary to dismantle Hamas in the wake of their attack; Israeli forces also insist they can move civilians out of the battlegrounds and toward "humanitarian islands" -- but the U.S., which is a major supporter of Israel's military, has sharply criticized the possibility of a large-scale incursion.

Scott on Sunday pressed the vice president, asking if America would consider "consequences" if Netanyahu went forward -- something he said he was willing to do despite the opposition.

"Well, we're going to take it one step at a time, but we've been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether or not that should happen," Harris said.

Scott followed up: "Are you ruling out that there would be consequences from the United States?"

"I am ruling out nothing," Harris replied.

In the interview, Harris was also asked about Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's call for new elections in Israel, which Netanyahu decried as "wholly inappropriate" meddling in his country's politics.

Biden has not echoed Schumer's position but did praise the senator's overall comments as a "good speech."

Harris told Scott on "This Week" that "I will not speak for Sen. Schumer, but we are very clear that that is on the Israeli people to make a decision about when they will have an election and who, of course, they elect to lead their government. That's for them to say."

Scott asked Harris if she thought Netanyahu was "an obstacle to peace," as Schumer had said.

"I believe that we have got to continue to enforce what we know to be and should be the priorities in terms of what is happening in Gaza," Harris said without directly answering the question. "We've been very clear that far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. We have been very clear that Israel and the Israeli people and Palestinians are entitled to an equal amount of security and dignity."

srsly

[Shortfuze]

Oh I dunno...how about Egypt opening up their border to allow Palestinian refugees into their territory temporarily. At the very least take in women, children, and older people if they don't want young, military aged men into their territory. It's not impossible if Egypt really cared.

[OPGenesis]

There won't be any consequences.


The current admin is attempting to play this stupid game of talk, because it is hurting their re-election chances.


They make these insincere statements, yet give Israel all the money and weapons they need to push Arabs out of Gaza.


The US just shot down ceasefire negotiations, again.

And that would only allow Israel to clear out the land easier. Palestinians don't want to leave and lose their land. They have already lost most of it since the early/mid 20th century. Israel is the problem not Egypt.

They tried a ridiculous fake ceasefire resolution and China and Russia shot it down. It was a "ceasefire" that allowed Israel to continue to **** up Palestinians and give it some international legality.

And yeah they are realizing how bad it is hurting them for the presidential elections and it is only getting worse. I don't think anyone who is angry at democrat zionists is getting fooled by Harris. It seems more like a idiotic talking point academic liberals like my former professors can spout to sound "concerned" about Palestine.

Egypt does care.
they care about what those people will do to their country if they let them in.

Do you want cousin Eddie staying in your house or out in his RV?
yeah, the RV.

yeah, the RV.

Egypt doesn't have the resources to take care of over 2 million people.


Their economy and political infrastructure is in a crisis situation. Tons of instability.


To say something retarded like Egypt should just take them all is on low IQ levels of epic proportion.


Egypt's atrophy could revive the Brotherhood
