Kamala Harris’s choice of vice-president – should she win the election – is seen as on the same page as her in terms of rethinking US strong support for Israel and being more sympathetic to Gaza
In that context, her selection of Minnesota governor Walz rather than his high-profile Pennsylvanian counterpart Josh Shapiro is seen as significant. Shapiro has castigated divestment from Israel and condemned students protesting against Israel’s Gaza war; as a youth he volunteered on an Israeli army base.
In 2013, Walz opposed US military strikes on Syria after the government killed hundreds of people in a chemical weapons attack. Walz called for repeal of the 2001 congressional authorisation allowing the president to bypass Congress and conduct attacks and military operations outside the US. He backed the 2015 agreement limiting Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for lifting sanctions.
