Kamala Harris: US will reverse Trump-era policy, restore relation with Palestine

The administration of US Presidential nominee Joe Biden will convert a number of Donald Trump’s questionable policies on Palestine, according to Kamala Harris. The Democratic Party candidate for vice president made numerous commitments in an interview over the weekend with the Arab American News.

Replying to a question about US foreign policy in Palestine and the broader Middle East, Harris stated : “Joe and I also believe in the worth and value of every Palestinian and every Israeli and we will work to ensure that Palestinians and Israelis enjoy equal measures of freedom, security, prosperity and democracy.”

“We are committed to a two-state solution, and we will oppose any unilateral steps that undermine that goal. We will also oppose annexation and settlement expansion”, she added.

Addressing the Syrian issue, Harris stated that a Biden-led administration “will once again stand with civil society and pro-democracy partners in Syria, and help advance a political settlement where the Syrian people have a voice”.

On Saudi Arabia, Harris stated that the US will not hold by and watch Riyadh wreak havoc in the region. “Instead of standing by as the government of Saudi Arabia pursues disastrous, dangerous policies, including the ongoing war in Yemen, we will reassess the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia and end support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen,” said Harris.

Harris also reflected on Trump Muslim ban. “Discrimination and bigotry will have no place in a Biden-Harris administration,” she added. “On our first day in office, Joe and I will rescind the un-American Muslim travel and refugee bans and make America, once again, a welcoming destination for immigrants and refugees, including by raising the refugee admissions cap.”
