"It is time for this war to end," Harris said in a televised statement after she held face-to-face talks with Netanyahu. "We cannot allow ourselves to be numb to the suffering and I will not be silent," she said. Netanyahu will meet Harris' Republican rival, Donald Trump, on Friday at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
