Harris often prioritizes personal rapport with her staff and advisers, her aides and associates have said, and she is expected to place considerable stock in the in-person meetings.

Amid fears of a broadening conflict, a number of international airlines suspended flights to and from Israel pending expected retaliation against the country by Iran and its Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah. Some nations have urged their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately. The move followed the killings last week of a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut and Hamas’s political leader in Tehran. Tens of thousands of Israelis are unable to come home, according to an Israeli official, adding to the sense that the country was no longer in control of its own fate and had no clear plan for quieting its many conflicts.
