Harris says Hezbollah is a 'terror group', Israel has the right to defend itself

Kamala Harris has backed Israel’s right to defend itself, after its strike on Beirut targeting a senior Hezbollah commander.

“I unequivocally support Israel’s right to remain secure and to defend the security of Israel,” Harris said while she travelled to Atlanta, Georgia, for a campaign event.

“What we know, in particular, is it has the right to defend itself against the terrorist organisation, which is exactly what Hezbollah is, she added.

She added that a diplomatic solution had to be reached “to end those attacks”.
