Vice President Kamala Harris says she urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a cease-fire deal soon with Hamas so that dozens of hostages held in Gaza since the Oct. 7 attack can return home.
“What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating.

We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering. And I will not be silent.”
