The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine responded to the US Vice President's statement regarding Palestinian rights, saying "There is nothing new about such statements, the lesson remains in implementation."
Vice President Kamala Harris had previously discussed the Palestinian people's rights to liberation, self-determination, and security, in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a statement, the DFLP compared Harris' words to those of the US presidents that came before her.
"Barack Obama, in a visit to Cairo at the beginning of his term as president, claimed that Palestinian Statehood was part of US national security.
Before him was Bush Jr., who vowed to establish a Palestinian State until he concluded his presidency in 2008 with a brutal war on the Gaza Strip via Ehud Olmert's Israeli government.
Biden also vowed to instate the two-state solution but rapidly backed down before Netanyahu's fascist government, which rejected the establishment of a Palestinian State. Biden evaded the issue saying there is more than one model for a Palestinian state, hinting at self-administrative rule for our people,” which he considered to be an Israeli-American model of the so-called two-state solution.
The Democratic Front further blasted Harris, noting that while she speaks of Palestinian liberation and self-determination, the US military continues to supply the Israeli occupation forces with weapons to commit massacres against Palestinians and transform the entire Gaza Strip into a murder zone using Israeli-American war machines.
Amid theatrics about Gaza, Harris starts campaign with lies: Hamas
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 Netanyahu and emphasized her rock-solid support for "Israel".
