Kamala Harris, United States Vice President schooled a protester and stated her that it was her moment to speak. Harris was at a Democratic fundraiser in Detroit when the incident took place, according to the media reports.
The Vice President started her speech at the Michigan Democratic Party Legacy Dinner, where tickets cost $200, by discussing the violence in Gaza, hoping to defuse the tension.
However, many audience members started screaming, with a woman repeatedly shouting, ‘It’s genocide’. Harris stopped her speech to express her frustration at the woman.
‘For the past eight months, President Biden and I have been working every day to bring this conflict, I’m speaking right now. I value and respect your voice, but I’m speaking right now’ said Kamala Harris. Further, the security removed the protester from the room
Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council on Monday adopted a US-drafted resolution supporting a ceasefire plan in Gaza.
The resolution, passed with 14 votes in favour and Russia abstaining, welcomes President Joe Biden’s truce and hostage release plan published on May 31, and urges parties to fully implement its terms without delay and without condition.
As per the resolution, Israel has approved the truce arrangement and calls upon Hamas to also accept it. Hamas said that it “welcomes” the vote.
