Will a President Harris refrain from making additional weapons shipments? Will she attach humanitarian conditions to future military aid? Will she direct her U.N. ambassador to veto Palestinian requests for full membership in the global body? It is difficult to say.
According to CNN, aides and allies who have talked with Harris say that “substantively there is little daylight between her and the president.”
Biden’s support for the Gaza war has alienated and isolated him from the youngest cohorts of the Democratic Party, but it hasn’t split the coalition.
The clear shift in public opinion is a virtual guarantee Harris will face serious pressure to make a decisive break with Biden on Israel. And even if she doesn’t, there is a strong chance that future Democrats running for president will have to take a meaningfully different tack on Israel than their predecessors.

How important do you think it is for future U.S. leaders to reconsider their stance on Israel, given changing public opinion?

How would you feel if the U.S. decided to attach humanitarian conditions to future military aid?
@VOTA1р1Y
Would you support a U.S. policy change that vetoes Palestinian requests for full membership in the U.N.? Why or why not?

If you were in Kamala Harris's position, would you continue making weapons shipments or change course?
@VOTA1р1Y
Do you believe it's critical for political leaders to align their foreign policies with the youngest members of their party? Why or why not?
