Up until now, Harris has been defined by working for President Joe Biden, arguably the most explicitly pro-Israel American president, even though his relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu has frayed.
“President Biden brought to the White House a lifelong relationship with Bibi Netanyahu and a very mature history on the US-Israel relationship,” Murphy said.
“The vice president has been a strong and longstanding supporter of Israel as a secure, democratic homeland for the Jewish people.
“One can criticize specific policies of the government of Israel while still strongly supporting the state of Israel and the people of Israel.
Soifer said she is satisfied that Harris remains committed to Israel — even after being read the indirect answer about whether the vice president considers herself a Zionist.
