Netanyahu caught off guard as Kamala Harris slams Israel for Gaza deaths in post-meeting address: report

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was caught off guard by public comments Vice President Kamala Harris made about his government killing “far too many” civilians in the Gaza Strip, according to a report.

“Harris’ statement after the meeting was much more critical than what she told Netanyahu in the meeting,” one Israeli official told Axios.

Harris met with the Israeli leader after President Biden welcomed him on Thursday to the Oval Office, where the two world leaders also met with the families of eight US hostages being held in Gaza.
