Harris, Trump and Biden mark Oct. 7 attacks as US election looms
==========
On October 7, 2024, President Joe Biden commemorated the one-year anniversary of Hamas's attacks on Israel with a candle lighting ceremony at the White House, emphasizing the need for peace amidst ongoing conflict. Vice President Kamala Harris planted a memorial tree at her residence, symbolizing hope, while Donald Trump met with Jewish leaders in New York. Biden condemned the brutality of the attacks, which resulted in 1,206 Israeli deaths, and called for a ceasefire in Gaza, where 41,909 people have died since the war began. The anniversary highlights the challenges Biden and Harris face with Arab and Muslim voters ahead of the upcoming presidential election, as protests against the Gaza war occurred at Columbia University and Wall Street. Trump criticized Biden's foreign policy, claiming it is the worst in history and asserting the need for his re-election to end the bloodshed.
