NewzU.S. Vice President JD Vance declined to endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reelection bid on Monday. When asked about the matter, Vance stated that he is currently focused on American midterm elections rather than foreign political contests, distancing himself from President Donald Trump, who recently offered his support to the Israeli leader.
The decision marks a notable departure from Vance’s past political activities, as he previously campaigned for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban during the spring prior to that country's parliamentary elections. The Vice President has also engaged with other international right-wing figures, including meetings with members of the German far-right, making his current stance on the Israeli election a point of interest for observers.
