United States Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris said in an interview set to be broadcast on Monday that the US needs to help Israel to “defend itself” from the threats posed by Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. “When we think about the threat that Hamas, Hezbollah… Iran present, I think that it is without any question, our imperative to do what we can to allow Israel to defend itself against those kinds of attacks,” Harris said in a preview of the CBS’ 60 Minutes. “The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to defend itself against 200 ballistic missiles that were just meant to attack the people of Israel,” she added, referring to Iran’s recent missile attack on the country, which it launched in response to Israel’s bombing of Beirut that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Walz: Iran at the heart of disruption in Middle East
Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz claimed in an interview with Fox News on Sunday that Iran is “at the heart of” the crisis in the Middle East, asserting that Tehran’s “proxies … bring disruption throughout the region.” “We have been clear Israel has the right to defend itself. We’ve always stood in that position,” Walz insisted and pointed out that it was Hamas that started the conflict by killing “over 1,200 innocent Israelis” and taking 46 Americans hostage. “We have always said we reserve the right to protect American troops, our allies in the region, and that there is consequences for Iran,” he added. The comments come amid Israel’s intensified attacks on Gaza and Lebanon and threats it would target Iran in response to Tehran’s strikes on the country earlier this week.
