On Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris refrained from confirming whether Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is a dependable ally, as highlighted in a segment aired by CBS News’ 60 Minutes.
During the interview, Harris was confronted with a range of contentious yet effective wartime actions taken by Netanyahu that contradicted the explicit public requests of the Biden administration. The interviewer pressed her on whether the United States still holds any “sway” over Netanyahu.
In her response, Harris was vague, describing the relationship with Israel as an “ongoing pursuit.”
“Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister Netanyahu?” the interviewer asked again.
“I think, with all due respect, the better question is do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people?” Harris responded. “And the answer to that question is yes.”
In July, Harris opted to skip Netanyahu’s speech to Congress in favor of attending a sorority lunch.
President Joe Biden has also treated Netanyahu as somewhat of an outcast, supporting calls from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) earlier this year for Israelis to remove Netanyahu from power and hold fresh elections.
Generally, Democrats have distanced themselves from Netanyahu. However, his approval ratings have surged in Israel since October 7, and recent polling indicates that his coalition would win reelection if elections were conducted today.
Many Israelis remain skeptical of Harris, perceiving her as unsupportive of their interests. On Sunday, one of Netanyahu’s ministers criticized Harris for pledging hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Lebanon while Hezbollah continued its assaults on Israel from Lebanese territory.

Wicked evil lady. She can’t even answer these softball questions the 5th column media serves her on a silver platter.
How do you know who’d under that mask?
How do you know who’d under that mask? They’ve been using voice modulators for the Biden actor, Netanyahu actor, and the other actors.
Harris & Biden are no friends of the Israeli people or the Jewish people
I thought she did very ok defending Israel in the rest of her answers in the clip. I do not like her at all and I will not vote for her and I also don’t think that she owns much seichel. I just can’t stand with every word is turned inside out to make it as if she said something way worse than she did. She really defended Israel earlier in the comment. I don’t even expect that from her so I will hand it to her.
The United Kingdom is an ally. France is an ally. Canada is an ally. Japan is an ally. South Korea is an ally. The US has binding treaties with all of them.
No such treaty with Israel. Israel is a friendly country that the US will defend and aid as long as Democrats are in the White House. Vance voted against aid to Israel.
Mrs. Harris grew up with her sister in a middle class family.
This is nothing more than hyper-partisanism. The Left cannot even tolerate the Right in another country. In the past, they have even maneuvered to try and sway Israeli elections.
She gave a reasonable answer. Youre not gonna get anything better than that, as Trump cant win, so get used to it and be more appreciative and respectful or you will have nothing.
It’s so funny to read comments on this fake person. Do you also comment when reading fiction book – or you never read? These media reports are no different.
The interviewer is as wicked as they get. Her answers, as my kid sister Malky said, above, is quite good. Remember, she doesn’t like Netanyahu nor does she care much about Israel, yet her answers were pretty okay.
