Harris also called for diplomatic solution to reduce risk of conflict on the Lebanon-Israel border.
ATLANTA – US Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic election nominee, said Tuesday that Israel had a "right to defend itself" following a strike in Hezbollah's stronghold in southern Beirut.
"I want to address what's happened over the last few hours in terms of the Middle East, and be very clear Israel has a right to defend itself," Harris told reporters as she headed to an election rally in Atlanta, Georgia. "What we know in particular is it has the right to defend itself against a terrorist organization, which is exactly what Hezbollah is," added Harris.
Harris is effectively locked in as the Democratic presidential nominee for November's US election after President Joe Biden's shock decision to drop out of the White House race just over a week ago.
