Kamala Harris Warns Against Israeli Invasion of Rafah, Does Not Rule Out "Consequences" from U.S.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over the weekend, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris warned against
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invading Rafah. She spoke to
Rachel Scott of ABC News.

Vice President Kamala Harris: "We have been clear in multiple
conversations and in every way that any major military operation in
Rafah would be a huge mistake."

Rachel Scott: "A mistake, but would there be consequences if he does
move forward?"

Vice President Kamala Harris: "Well, we're going to take it one step at
a time, but we've been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether
or not that should happen."

Rachel Scott: "Are you ruling out that there would be consequences from
the United States?"

Vice President Kamala Harris: "I am ruling out nothing."

This comes as Israel continues to carry out attacks across Gaza, where
the death toll has topped 32,200. This is a Palestinian man named Younis
Kassab in Rafah.

Younis Kassab: "Israel does not want a ceasefire. Instead, it wants to
continue exterminating the Palestinian people. This is what Israel and
America are planning simultaneously. They do not want a ceasefire. …
Israel seeks genocide against the Palestinian people, and particularly
the Gaza Strip. And this is a crime."
