Republican Jewish group slams Harris for 'snubbing' Netanyahu

The Republican Jewish Coalition criticised Vice President Kamala Harris, calling it "disgraceful" that her "first official act as the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States" was to snub Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It stated: "Kamala Harris would be a total disaster for the US-Israel relationship."

Before Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race, Harris was scheduled to campaign for him during Netanyahu's address to Congress. She was also set to meet with the Israeli prime minister, though it is unclear if this meeting will still take place.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's running mate, Republican Senator JD Vance from Ohio, has chosen to campaign instead of attending Netanyahu's speech. It remains uncertain whether he or Trump will meet with the Israeli prime minister during his US visit.
