An aide to the vice president pushed back Friday on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeming to suggest Harris' public comments following their meeting a day earlier could have an impact on cease-fire negotiations.

"Well, we're trying to get one. And I think to the extent that Hamas understands that there's no daylight between Israel and the United States, that it expedites the deal. And I hope that those comments don't change that," Netanyahu told reporters when asked about her comments.

Harris' aide said in a statement there is no daylight between Harris and Biden's views.

"President Biden and Vice President Harris delivered the same message in their private meetings to Prime Minister Netanyahu: It's time to get the ceasefire and hostage deal done. And this is what the Vice President said publicly as well," the aide said.

"The public comments tracked with her previous comments on the conflict. She started with rock-solid support for Israel and then she expressed her concern about civilian causalities and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, as she always does," the aide added.

Senior Egyptian security officials will meet their American and Qatari counterparts in the presence of the head of Israel's Mossad intelligence service in Rome on Sunday to discuss a Gaza cease-fire and hostage release deal, a senior Egyptian source said.

The meeting is part of mediation efforts to reach a truce agreement in the Gaza Strip, the source said.

Egypt stressed to all parties taking part in the Rome meeting its commitment in reaching an agreement that requires an immediate cease-fire and ensuring the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the source added.

President Joe Biden is temporarily protecting some Lebanese nationals from deportation and authorizing work permits amid deteriorating humanitarian conditions in southern Lebanon "due to tensions between Hezbollah and Israel," the White House said in a statement Friday.

"I have determined that it is in the foreign policy interest of the United States to defer for 18 months the removal of any Lebanese national" with exceptions, Biden said.

Lebanese nationals who return to Lebanon after the announcement, have not continually resided in the U.S., or have been convicted of a felony or of two misdemeanors are some of the people excluded from the memorandum.

Vice President Kamala Harris said she had a "frank and constructive" meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday and told him "it is time" to get the hostage deal across the finish line.

"There has been hopeful movement and the talks to secure an agreement on this deal. And as I just told Prime Minister Netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done," Harris told reporters following her meeting.

Harris also spoke directly to individuals calling for a cease-fire in her remarks, telling them, "I see you and I hear you. Let's get the deal done so we can get a cease-fire to end the war. Let's bring the hostages home, and let's provide much needed-relief to the Palestinian people."

In the meeting, she said she also raised with Netanyahu her "serious concern about the scale of human suffering in Gaza, including the death of far too many innocent civilians."

"What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating," she said. "The images of dead children and desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third, or fourth time. We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering and I will not be silent."
