Vice President JD Vance says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made mistakes, while emphasizing that the United States will continue working with Israel. In an interview with Robert Costa that airs Sunday, Vance says Netanyahu has “certainly gotten some things wrong,” but adds that he has ultimately been “a good partner” to the United States. Vance also links the current strain in the relationship to the ongoing effort to respond to Iran’s actions, saying President Trump has been “very clear” about what the US considers to be in its best interests. He frames the policy approach as continued cooperation alongside an American priority for its own interests when goals diverge. Vance states that the US will pursue the “best interests of our nation” in cases where US and Israeli priorities differ, while still “keeping on working together.” Other reporting similarly describes Vance’s remarks as acknowledging Israel’s partnership with the US while reaffirming that US policy will focus on American objectives if priorities do not align.
