JD Vance Issues New Warning To Israel– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that the United States should treat Israel as an important partner without making American policy in the Middle East “subservient” to the Israeli government.

Vance spoke by videoconference with All-In Podcast co-host Jason Calacanis at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles. The exchange covered the U.S.-Israel relationship, President Donald Trump’s dealings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and criticism from some on the American right that Washington has been too closely aligned with Jerusalem.

“Obviously Israel has been an important partner when it comes to military technology, when it comes to intelligence sharing, but also sometimes the United States doesn’t always agree with Israel,” Vance said. He further stated that all alliances should be rooted in American interests. “Rooting this relationship, like all relationships, in America’s interest is the way to actually have a rational conversation here.”

Vance said Trump has been more willing than other recent presidents to differ with Netanyahu when the two countries’ priorities diverge. “I think that more than frankly any president in the last 40 years, he has shown a willingness to actually part ways with Bibi Netanyahu when he feels like the interests of the American people are different from the interests of the government of Israel,” the vice president continued.
