Izzat al-Risheq, a member of the political bureau of Hamas, considered Kamala Harris' pretensions about her concerns and sorrow regarding the humanitarian situation and human suffering in Gaza to be yet another American lie.

He reiterated that the United States could have ended the war and blocked its military, security, political, and intelligence support to "Israel' and its occupation forces if it wanted to.

Al-Risheq also affirmed that the presidential candidate and vice president kickstarted her presidential campaign with fabricated lies, reminding her that Gaza's martyrs are not just "deaths", but innocent civilians, elderly, women, children, and refugees, killed by the "Zionazi army" with American decisions, weapons, and political cover.

Harris "disregards the human rights she pretends to protect, and the Resistance's right to confront an occupier protected by international law," he said, adding that her vision was biased toward the Israeli occupation and opposed the people of Palestine in Gaza.

This comes after Harris convened with Benjamin Netanyahu and emphasized her rock-solid support for "Israel".

Earlier today, Harris affirmed her commitment to ensuring that "Israel" can defend itself against threats, pointing at Iran, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, and the Palestinian Resistance.

"I've said it many times, but it bears repeating. Israel has a right to defend itself and how it does so matters," she said.

Despite the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, Harris blamed Operation Al-Aqsa Flood for the war on Gaza, saying that the group was "responsible for triggering" the war.
