Vance Warns U.S. Critics in Israel Against ‘Attacking the only Powerful Ally’ It Has Left
Vance said Israel should not attack its strongest ally as he defended the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding and cited $4 billion in annual U.S. military aid.
- On Thursday, Vice President JD Vance rebuked Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich for criticizing the U.S.-Iran deal, warning them not to alienate their "only powerful ally."
- Tensions between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump escalated after Israeli attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon threatened to derail the U.S. peace deal with Tehran.
- Vance noted that American hands built two-thirds of Israel's defensive weapons, while the agreement provides $300 billion to Iran and reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
- In a New York Times interview, Vance told the ministers: "You're a country of nine million people. You can't just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem."
- Netanyahu reportedly expressed "stunned anger" over the agreement, which former national security adviser Yaakov Amidror argued fails to accomplish Israel's war aims or provide strategic benefit.
