Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president,
will be conspicuously absent from her seat, as U.S. vice president,
behind Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when
the latter addresses a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
“It is unconscionable to see Vice President Kamala Harris shirk her
duties as president of the Senate and boycott this historic event,”
stated Victoria Coates, vice president of the Cullom Davis Institute
for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation.
“If we can’t stand with Israel now, when can we?” Coates’s colleague
Robert Greenway, director of Heritage’s Allison Center for National Security, agreed.
“Iran and its terrorist proxies look to eliminate the State of Israel,
and the United States cannot turn a blind eye to the situation
as we will be the next in their crosshairs,” Greenway stated.
“Vice President Kamala Harris’s refusal to preside over the joint
session of Congress further isolates our closest ally in the region.”
“It encourages Israel’s enemies, who also have American blood
on their hands and our hostages in their custody,” he added.
“We must be better.”
