One can only hope that Harris even has a "first hundred days" to hold her accountable during.
It sure seems like Biden is slighting her campaign by giving a 30 day window for Israel to commit more violations of International Humanitarian Law before any possibility of repercussions like a withdrawal for aid. Having a window means acknowledging that Israel is violating IHL, so making it 30 days is an insane thing to do. It could just as easily been 1 day, and still can.
If I'm being an optimist, I hope Harris breaks from Biden and somehow strong-arms the Biden camp to shrink the window to before the end of the election and initiate conditional millitary aid or an arms embargo. Showing a clear divergence between Harris and Biden on the issue of Israel. That has the potential to swing the election.
Same thoughts here. I don't have much faith in a dramatic change at the 11th hour, since I feel like Harris is really a lot more establishment than she wants people to believe while she's out campaigning, but I am holding out some shred of hope that she might see reason and change course with enough pressure, which is more than I can say for the alternative.
