Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris criticized both the Biden and Trump administrations during a speech at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul, South Korea, on October 15, 2026. She stated that neither administration used enough leverage to curb Israel's military campaign in Gaza, describing it as "horrific conduct." Harris specifically mentioned offering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a blank check under the current Biden administration and failing to act sooner and more forcefully during her own tenure.
The Republican Jewish Coalition responded by calling Harris’s remarks “unsurprising,” citing her absence from Netanyahu's 2024 address to Congress and her opposition to legislation targeting the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement. Additionally, they criticized Harris for advocating a halt to Israeli military operations in Rafah, where hostages were later found and rescued by the Israel Defense Forces.
