JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, following reactions to his lack of support for "Benjamin Netanyahu" the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime in the elections, announced that he will never again support candidates in foreign elections. Vance's remarks come as Netanyahu has promised a significant ministry to "Ben Gvir" to gain his support.
Withholding Support for Netanyahu
A journalist today asked Vance to explain why he stated in a recent interview that he would not support Netanyahu, while he supported "Viktor Orban" the Prime Minister of Hungary in the spring and even traveled to Hungary for his campaign. Vance responded that he only supported one foreign candidate, which did not go "very well," as Orban lost the election.

He added: "That incident was in April, and now we are on the verge of elections in America, where my main focus is on candidates who are going to be elected in the United States."
Position Against Netanyahu
The Vice President of the United States also clarified that his lack of support for Netanyahu does not mean an attack on him. He emphasized that he will neither attack Netanyahu nor support him in the elections. Vance added that what matters is the support of "Donald Trump" the President of the United States.
Trump had previously announced that he would not support any Israeli candidate, and in response to a question about his trust in Netanyahu, he made a grim face and said he trusts no one. However, on Sunday, Trump suddenly changed his position 180 degrees.
Meanwhile, in response to a question about Trump's support for Netanyahu, Vance said: "I support American candidates. I will not interfere in the elections of the Israeli regime." Vance's refusal to announce support for Netanyahu ahead of the elections of this regime stands in stark contrast to Trump's public support for him.
As the elections in the occupied territories approach, media reports have indicated that "Pete Hegseth" the U.S. Secretary of Defense met with Netanyahu on Monday during an unannounced trip to the occupied territories. This comes as the Pentagon has declined to comment on this report. Additionally, "Time" magazine has stated that it contacted the Israeli embassy and Netanyahu's office for clarification.
In the past, Vance had raised warnings about the relations between the Israeli regime and the United States. In June, he criticized members of Netanyahu's cabinet who opposed negotiations between Washington and Tehran to end the Iran war.
