Rhino: Agencies – US Vice President and expected Democratic Party candidate for the presidential election, said it is time to end the Gaza war given the suffering caused by the fighting. Harris made the remarks at a press conference after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reflecting growing pressure on him from across the political spectrum to reach an agreement with the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to end the fighting in Gaza. ‘There has been a hopeful movement in the talks to reach an agreement, and as I just said to Prime Minister Netanyahu, it’s time for a deal,’ she said. Harris’ tone was sharper than Biden, who himself is increasingly pressuring Netanyahu to reach an agreement with Hamas that would lead to an end to the fighting and the return of Israeli hostages. ‘We cannot allow ourselves to be indifferent to the suffering and I will not be silent,’ Harris said.
