    But one senior U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to detail Ms. Harris’s thinking, said that if she won the election and the war were still going on, her policy was not expected to change.

    Not expected to change was my assessment too.

    Halie Soifer, who is now the chief executive of the Jewish Democratic Council of America and served as Ms. Harris’s national security adviser when she was in the Senate, said the vice president had maintained a pragmatic approach to the conflict that is rooted in her longstanding commitment to Israel’s security.

      in large part because the conflict is too volatile to predict how it might be managed days from now, let alone months from now.

      Reading between the lines, I’m hopeful that Harris will enact a major change in policy down the line in this area if she’s elected - but also be able to claim that while she never broke from Biden or older policy, that the “volatile” conflict went in an un"predict"able direction requiring the move.
