US Vice President Kamala Harris, on Thursday, formally accepted her party’s nomination to run for President with a call to end the “war” in Gaza with a vow to fight tyranny across the globe.
According to an Al Arabiya report, the Vice President’s call for an end to the ongoing genocide in Gaza has drawn a sharp contrast to her competitor and former President, Donald Trump. Harris reportedly accused Trump of cozying up to dictators, saying: “In the enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny, I know where I stand and I know where the United States belongs”.

During the final night of the convention, Harris, has sought to redefine herself as she and Trump enter the final eleven weeks leading to the close of their campaigns. After days of protests from Palestinian supporters at not being allowed a speaking spot at the convention, Harris reportedly pledged to secure Israel and bring hostages home from Gaza with an end of the war in the Palestinian enclave.
Harris stressed that the time to strike a hostage and ceasefire deal is now, adding: “I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself”.

Harris further stated that the situation in Gaza in the last ten months is “devastating” adding that so many “innocent lives” have been lost with many “desperate hungry people” fleeing for safety. On the other hand, Harris affirmed that she and President Biden are working together to bring an end to the war ensuring Israel’s security, hostages release and an end to suffering of the Palestinian people in a way that they can exercise their “right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination”.
It is pertinent to note that Vice President Harris emerged as the Democratic Candidate a little over a month ago after President Biden announced he was stepping down from his run in the upcoming elections. If she succeeds, Harris will be the first woman President elected in US history.
