Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested that a deal to free hostages held in Gaza could be imminent, giving hope to families of the detainees. Efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza have gained momentum in recent months, with negotiations ongoing between Israel and Hamas, mediated by Egypt and Qatar.
In the US, Netanyahu is expected to meet with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris this week. Harris, who has been urged to choose a potential running mate from battleground states, is likely to focus on civilian casualties in Gaza rather than engaging in public criticism of Netanyahu.
Meanwhile, as the Trump campaign shifts its focus to Harris following Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race, experts suggest that attacking the former VP may be more challenging. Harris, who has been vocal about reproductive rights, may appeal to voters who are motivated by the recent overturning of Roe v Wade.
If Harris becomes the Democratic nominee, she will face a rematch against former President Donald Trump, who defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016. However, the dynamics of the race would be different, with Harris bringing a unique perspective as a Black and South Asian woman. The possibility of a female president who is pro-abortion rights may garner support among feminist voters, while also motivating anti-abortion voters to support Trump.
