Vice President JD Vance tells Israeli officials not to criticize President Donald Trump’s administration’s Iran peace deal, warning that the United States is Israel’s “only powerful ally” at the moment. Speaking during a White House press briefing, Vance responds to Israeli officials’ criticism of the deal and frames the Trump administration as uniquely sympathetic to Israel compared with other heads of state. The Hill reports that Vance cautions Israeli officials against “speaking out” or attacking Trump’s approach, arguing Israel should recognize the value of U.S. partnership while it faces broader international isolation. Bloomberg similarly reports that Vance argues Trump is the only global leader who is supportive of Israel “at this moment in time,” in the context of tensions over the U.S.-Iran agreement and Israel’s public reservations. The outlets broadly agree that Vance’s remarks are a direct warning to Israeli officials to avoid further criticism of Trump and the Iran deal, and they link the message to the state of Israel’s diplomatic standing and U.S. support.
