U.S. President Joe Biden opened a five-day European trip Friday with an extended visit with Pope Francis at the Vatican, where the world’s two most prominent Roman Catholics ran overtime in talks expected to cover the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, poverty and more.
Kamala Harris pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, signaling a potential shift from President Biden's approach. Harris expressed serious concern and emphasized the need for Israel to consider the impact of its actions. This came amid ongoing efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza. Biden’s recent endorsement of Harris for the 2024 presidential nomination adds a new dynamic to U.S. policy in the region.
