Washington, D.C. — Former Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday, April 19 criticized President Donald Trump, asserting at a Michigan Democratic Women’s Caucus event in Detroit that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 'pulled' Trump into a military confrontation with Iran. Harris called the move a 'feeble attempt' to distract from the 'Epstein files' and referenced Operation Epic Fury in her remarks. This week, President Trump concurrently posted praise for Israel on Truth Social, reaffirming the country as a key US ally as tensions with Iran rose. Harris warned of domestic consequences, including higher fuel prices, and her comments have intensified public debate and media coverage, prompting further scrutiny of US foreign-policy decisions and partisan responses.
