US VP meets Netanyahu rival as pressure mounts on Israel

US Vice President Kamala Harris was meeting Monday with Benny Gantz — an Israeli war cabinet member and key rival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — in a sign of growing White House frustration with Israel’s offensive in Gaza.

The talks come a day after Democrat Harris, who is campaigning for a second term with President Joe Biden, called for an immediate ceasefire and issued Washington’s sharpest rebuke yet over the lack of aid for Palestinians.
