House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik appeared on Fox News' America Reports to discuss concerns regarding the Biden-Harris Administration's alleged intelligence leaks that could undermine Israel's military operations against Iran. During her interview with Sandra Smith and John Roberts, Stefanik criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for what she perceives as a lack of support for Israel.

Stefanik expressed concern over Harris's actions, stating, "It’s a disgrace, and at every opportunity Kamala Harris has turned her back on our most precious ally Israel." She emphasized the importance of standing with Israel, particularly in light of past terrorist threats from groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

Stefanik further accused the administration of slow-walking U.S. military aid to Israel. She stated, "This Administration, with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' support, slow walked that aid. And they are still doing everything they can to undermine Israel's ability to fight for their own country."

The conversation also touched upon alleged intelligence leaks from the Biden-Harris Administration that could compromise Israel's efforts against Iran. Stefanik highlighted a perceived lack of urgency in addressing these leaks: "There's an absolute lack of urgency. This is very, very serious."

She called for immediate action and investigation into the matter: "There needs to be taken immediate criminal action, referrals to the Department of Justice, and this person who broke the law by leaking classified information, they should be in prison."

Stefanik concluded by stressing the need for decisive measures: "This needs to be handled now, immediately... They should say, ‘We will ensure that this never happens again.’"
