VP Kamala Harris urged the Israeli regime to take immediate action to restore basic services and order in Gaza and stressed the urgent need for an "immediate ceasefire."

After more than a hundred people in Gaza were murdered by "Israel" throughout the week as they sought to collect humanitarian, US Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday called on the Israeli regime to "do more" to increase the flow of aid, emphasizing that there are "no excuses" for delays.

At an event in front of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, Harris said that "too many innocent Palestinians have been killed" and that Gazans are enduring a "humanitarian catastrophe."

She pointed out that those seeking aid in Gaza have been faced with gunfire and chaos failing to mention the Israeli killers.

She further urged the Israeli regime to take immediate action to restore basic services and order in Gaza and stressed the urgent need for an "immediate ceasefire."

While stressing the importance of eliminating the Palestinian resistance for the US, Harris reiterated that there is a deal on the table and urged the resistance to agree to it even though it does not entail a permanent ceasefire.

She suggested the implementation of a six-week ceasefire only to facilitate the release of Israeli captives and allegedly allow for a significant influx of aid into the region.

This comes shortly after the Israeli army targeted a humanitarian convoy carrying aid supplies for Gaza's civilians. 

The attack occurred at the Kuwaiti roundabout in Gaza City.

So far, nine people have been confirmed dead in the aggression.

Last Thursday, the Israeli army opened fire on Palestinians who had gathered to collect supplies of aid at al-Rashid Street. 112 were murdered and several corpses were run over by tracked vehicles. 

A senior source in the Palestinian Resistance informed Al Mayadeen earlier in the day that "despite obstacles, the possibility of reaching an agreement is still viable, especially as the occupation is being dealt heavy blows in Khan Younis and al-Zaytoun neighborhood." 

Reputation Under Scrutiny

It is worth noting that Harris' reputation is tarnished both overseas and at home due to her hawkish support of military aggressions abroad as well as her controversial actions as attorney General in California such as unjustly incarcerating innocent individuals, supporting the death penalty, and shielding law enforcement officers accused of unjust killings.

In 2017, she co-sponsored a bill that enabled Trump to enforce sanctions on Iran, thereby breaching the JCPOA nuclear deal.

And in 2019, she, along with other 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, signed a letter calling for increased US occupation of Syria.

On February 15, amid concerns about Joe Biden's old age coupled with memory issues, Harris said she is ready to take over office from the US president if necessary, the Wall Street Journal reported.
