        U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said on Sunday she was not concerned about talks between former President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and reiterated her positions on the conflict in the Middle East.
        
        Democratic presidential candidate Harris faces Republican Trump in a tight race for the Nov. 5 U.S. elections.
        
        "No," Harris said when asked if talks between Trump and Netanyahu could undermine what the current U.S. government is trying to achieve.
        
        Trump and Netanyahu have spoken on a few occasions in recent weeks. They had close ties when Trump was president as the U.S. moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which delighted Israelis and infuriated Palestinians.
        
        "I do believe that it is critically important that we as the United States of America be an active participant in encouraging one, that this war ends, that we get the hostages out but also that there is a real commitment among nations to a two-state solution and the 'day after' (in Gaza)," Harris told reporters on Sunday.
