Itamar Ben-Gvir slammed Kamala Harris for a post on X, in which she lamented the “dire humanitarian situation” in Lebanon, and pledged $157 million in assistance.
The right-wing Israeli National Security Minister shot back at Kamala for ignoring the plight of tens of thousands of displaced Israelis living in the north, forced to evacuate their homes for a year due to constant rocket attacks from Hezbollah.
Harris wrote, “The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.”
She added, “To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.”
Ben-Gvir replied, “Kamala, the humanitarian act is to make sure all the citizens of northern Israel return home safe and sound, against all enemies.”
Harris met with Muslim leaders in Flint, Michigan on Friday, expressing concern over the humanitarian situations in Gaza and Lebanon.
Ben-Gvir is very courageous here...he has to know that regardless how this election goes, he is on the list to be sanctioned.
ReplyDeleteCalling her out will only strengthen their resolve.
