Harris told attendees that she and Biden "are working to end this war, such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can realise their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination."
Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, criticised Harris's remarks about the Jewish state.
"Harris just made clear she is for Israel’s defense from terrorists but opposes its offense against terrorists," Goldberg wrote. "In triangulating good and evil, she created a false moral equivalency between Oct. 7 and Israel’s just war of self-defense."
Harris said in her speech that she will also "never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists."
She also said that her family instilled in her "the values they personified: community, faith and the importance of treating others as you would want to be treated with kindness, respect and compassion."
Earlier in the convention, Harris's husband Doug Emhoff, who is Jewish, said that she helped him connect more deeply to his faith.
