1:48Now PlayingKamala Harris said Thursday that she will “stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself” as president — while at the same time saying a cease-fire in Gaza must get “done.”
“Now is the time to get a hostage deal and a cease-fire deal done!” she said to loud applause while delivering her presidential nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
