U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has once again urged for a ceasefire in Israel's ongoing conflict in Gaza, emphasizing the potential peace opportunity following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

Harris noted the complexity of Middle East issues, voicing her commitment to advocating peace despite the challenges. She sidestepped a question about potential electoral implications over Arab American discontent regarding U.S. support for Israel but reaffirmed her stance on addressing the tragic loss of Palestinian lives.
