US Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris addressed her stance on a Gaza ceasefire last night, after pro-Palestine protesters broke into her speech with chants of “free, free Palestine”.
Speaking to the protesters in Arizona, Harris said: “I have been clear: now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done.”
She added: “The president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home. So, I respect your voices, but we are here to now talk about this race in 2024.”
This was Harris’s second back-and-forth with pro-Palestine protesters during a campaign event in days. During a Wednesday rally in Michigan, Harris appeared to get frustrated after protesters repeatedly interrupted her speech, yelling “We won’t vote for genocide”.
Harris eventually responded: “You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking.
