[89225] Harsh criticism from US Vice President J.D. Vance regarding the government in Israel

Growing tension: US Vice President J.D. Vance criticizes Israel

US Vice President J.D. Vance presented a firm position in various interviews reported by several media outlets, criticizing the conduct of the political echelon in Israel. In a report by the "Israel Hayom" channel, Vance was quoted addressing members of the Israeli cabinet, saying: "If I were in the Israeli government cabinet, I wouldn't attack the only ally I have left in the whole world." Vance emphasized that Donald Trump is the only leader in the world today who shows sympathy for Israel.

In several channels, including YINONEWS - Yinon Magal and Israel News Without Censorship, data presented by Vance was published, according to which, in the last three months, "two-thirds of the defensive weapons that protected Israel were built by Americans and paid for by American tax dollars." Vance added critically that "anyone who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States in Israel needs to wake up and smell the reality."

Regarding the negotiations with Lebanon, Vance presented complex demands. According to The News Voice on TELEGRAM and Amichai Stein | The Diplomatic Channel, Vance expressed frustration that Israel is operating militarily while the sides are "on the verge of a breakthrough." He called strikes in Lebanon that lead to civilian casualties "unacceptable." However, in several reports, including Abu Ali Express and The News Line, it was noted that Vance clarified that the deal does not determine the withdrawal from southern Lebanon and that "Israel has the right to self-defense."

In a report by Ziv Rubinstein - Until the war ends, it was noted that Vance expects both sides to honor their part of the agreement, while at the same time he recognized the right of countries, including Iran, to self-defense. The picture emerging from the sources is that of an American administration providing significant security backing, but demanding that the political echelon in Israel align strategically with the policies of the US administration.
