Kamala Harris just can’t seem to get it right. In a series of moves that showcase her lack of foreign policy acumen, she has managed to bungle the Israeli Prime Minister’s visit to the United States.

First, neither she nor President Biden welcomed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upon his arrival, and then Biden skipped Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. This visit highlighted Biden’s ongoing struggle with his mental acuity, but it was Harris’s actions that have left many of us shaking our heads.

Trivia Question: What significant event happened on this day, July 30th, in American history related to civil rights? Answer at the end of the article.

Biden’s meeting with Netanyahu displayed his mental acuity struggles, and Kamala later met with him in the capacity of not only Vice President but also as the presumptive Democratic nominee for 2024. The meeting clearly didn’t go well.

From Fox News:
Vice President Kamala Harris publicly pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ‘get this deal done’ and agree to a cease-fire to end Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza, but Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, won’t say whether she’s also pushing terror group Hamas to relent at the negotiating table.

This revelation shouldn’t come as a surprise. Harris, the new Democratic nominee for 2024 after Biden’s withdrawal, is already showing her incompetence on the world stage.

Forcing our closest Middle East ally to negotiate with terrorists while giving Hamas a free pass is not just bad policy, it’s dangerous. Here’s what happened just a day later.

From Fox News:
The Iran-backed terrorist movement Hezbollah on Saturday rained down rockets on Israel, with at least one hitting a soccer field where children were playing in the northern Israeli town of Majdal Shams right by the border with Syria. At least 12 deaths have so far been reported with some 29 more injured, most reportedly between the ages of 10 and 20.

The soccer field in the majority Druze town was a scene of shocking violence and the most devastating loss of life in the north since Hezbollah entered the war on behalf of the terrorist entity Hamas on Oct. 7.

This is a terrible disaster—one that the White House and the media were pretty quiet about. But, not surprisingly, Israel is not going to be quiet about this travesty.

From Fox News:
The looming Israeli reaction against the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist movement in Lebanon is said to be imminent in response to the group’s rocket attack on a children’s soccer field on Saturday, resulting in the murders of 12 young people.

Danny Danon, Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations, had this to say:

Israel’s response will be swift, harsh, and painful, and we are now picking the targets and I believe in the next few days, and I’m sure Hezbollah will learn their lesson.

Does anyone believe Harris has what it takes to handle this escalating situation? Not likely. Her track record on foreign policy is abysmal. Whether it’s dealing with the border crisis or now this, she has proven time and again that she’s out of her depth.

Harris’s misguided attempts to broker peace by pressuring Netanyahu, while not holding Hamas accountable, have ironically led to increased violence. This escalated response from Israel is not just a slap in the face to Harris but also a reminder of her inability to lead.

Netanyahu, a seasoned leader, understands the stakes. He knows that showing weakness now will only embolden terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

In my opinion, Harris’s actions signal a troubling shift in U.S. foreign policy. By failing to hold terrorists accountable, she is effectively giving them a green light.

This administration’s approach undermines our alliances and endangers lives, both American and Israeli. It’s a dangerous precedent, one that shows a complete lack of understanding of the complexities of the Middle East.

The recent attacks by Hezbollah are a stark reminder of what happens when leadership falters. Israel is forced to pick up the pieces and defend itself in the face of terror, while Harris plays politics.

It’s clear that Netanyahu has no intention of backing down, and rightly so. The security of his nation is at stake, and he won’t be swayed by Harris’s naive attempts at diplomacy.

The hypocrisy is glaring. Harris demands concessions from Netanyahu but remains silent on Hamas. This double standard is not lost on anyone paying attention. It’s a move that reeks of political pandering rather than genuine statesmanship.

In conclusion, Harris’s actions have not only failed to bring peace but have also exacerbated the situation. Her ineptitude is on full display, and it’s clear that she is not the leader America needs.

The stakes are too high for such incompetence. Israel deserves better from its allies, and America deserves better from its leaders.

Key Takeaways:

• Kamala Harris pressured Netanyahu for a ceasefire but did not hold Hamas accountable.
• Israel is preparing a strong response to recent Hezbollah attacks.
• Harris’s foreign policy approach is dangerously misguided and shows her lack of leadership skills.
