Josh Shapiro's Israel-Palestine Stance Complicates VP Bid

Governor Shapiro's support for Israel and past comments on Palestinians draw criticism as he emerges as a top VP contender for Kamala Harris.

Shapiro faces backlash from progressives for his pro-Israel stance amid the Gaza conflict.
His past op-ed expressing skepticism about Middle East peace has resurfaced, intensifying scrutiny.
Shapiro's defenders argue that his views are being unfairly targeted due to his Jewish faith.
Other VP contenders, such as Governors Andy Beshear and Tim Walz, also have pro-Israel records.
Harris's decision on a running mate could impact her support among Arab-American and progressive voters.
