It is uncertain if Kamala Harris will halt arms deliveries to Israel.

It's uncertain whether Vice President Kamala Harris will follow the same course as the United Kingdom in pausing arms shipments to Israel.

Pressure from progressives is mounting on the Democratic presidential candidate to take a harder stance against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid the ongoing conflict with Hamas.

Although Harris maintains her dedication to Israel's security, she has refused to respond to queries regarding the U.S.'s potential use of its influence to halt weapons deliveries to a key ally in the Middle East in order to bring about policy changes under her administration.

Last week, Harris was questioned about whether she would take a different approach to President Biden regarding Israel and the Gaza conflict. She responded in the negative, but then shifted her focus to the importance of achieving a peace agreement.

Planet Chronicle Digital did not receive a response from the Harris campaign regarding whether weapons shipments would be halted if Harris becomes President.

Vice President Kamala Harris was questioned by CNN's Dana Bash on Thursday about President Biden's efforts to end the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Despite months of trying, the president's efforts have been unsuccessful. Bash asked if Harris would consider withholding some U.S. weapons shipments to Israel as a possible solution.

"She made it clear that she is completely committed to Israel's defense and its ability to defend itself, stating that she is unequivocal and unwavering in her stance. She then went on to discuss the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks and the unfortunate loss of Palestinian civilian lives."

Since October, the Gaza Health Ministry reports that approximately 42,000 Palestinians have lost their lives due to the conflict.

""This war must end. We need to get a deal done, get the hostages out, and establish a ceasefire," she stated."

"And so forth?" Bash pressed again, inquiring about any changes in policy regarding arms.

"Yes, we must negotiate a deal. Dana, we must negotiate a deal. The importance of this to the families and people in the region cannot be overstated. A deal is not only necessary to end the war but will also pave the way for what needs to happen next."

"I have been committed to working towards a two-state solution since October 8th, which ensures Israel's security while providing the Palestinians with equal measures of security, self-determination, and dignity."

Since the war began in October, Israel has received more than 50,000 tons of arms and military equipment from the US. In April, Congress passed a bill providing $26 billion in arms assistance for Israel and aid for Gaza.

On Monday, the United Kingdom temporarily halted numerous weapons shipments to Israel due to fears that they may be utilized to breach international regulations.

On Monday, David Lammy, the British Foreign Secretary, informed lawmakers that a decision regarding about 30 of 350 export licenses for military equipment, including parts for aircraft and drones and ground targeting items, was made.

The British government considers the equipment as being intended for use in the ongoing conflict in Gaza and poses a significant threat to the international humanitarian law.

Netanyahu is facing criticism from all directions after the revelation that six Israeli hostages were discovered dead in a Hamas tunnel. Protesters demonstrated over the weekend demanding a hostage agreement. Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a 23-year-old Israeli-American whose parents made an emotional plea for a hostage deal at the DNC last month, was among the casualties.

Over the weekend, President Biden responded "no" when asked if Netanyahu is taking sufficient measures to release the hostages.

Biden and Harris collaborated with their negotiating team over the weekend to finalize a hostage deal, as the media reported on the tragic deaths that had occurred.

The president stated that they are "very close" to finalizing a hostage deal that all parties could agree upon, despite months of failed negotiations. He added, "Hope springs eternal."
