In Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris at Wilkes University reportedly became the site of a heated confrontation between her supporters and pro-Palestinian protesters on Friday.

The altercation unfolded as protesters, waving Palestinian flags and criticising Harris’s stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict, were met with vocal resistance from Harris’s supporters.

The pro-Palestinian protesters were vocal about their discontent with Harris, arguing that her position on Israel's war on Gaza is more or less the same as former President Trump’s policies.

They criticised Harris for not sufficiently addressing the Palestinian perspective, particularly in light of recent violence and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Meanwhile, others defended Harris’s position, stating that while the incumbent US vice president's call for a ceasefire is a constructive approach.

The topic underscores the deep divisions and passionate views on US foreign policy in the Middle East.

As Harris continues her campaign, the debate over her position on the Israel-Palestine conflict remains a contentious issue.
