JD Vance has said Israel has no remaining powerful allies anywhere in the world, except for the US. Mr Vance cautioned members of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet who have spoken out against the new Iran deal.
“Donald J Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world’s superpower,” Mr Vance said.
“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.”
He added that “two-thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars”.
“The problem for Israel is not Donald J Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in.”
