Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responds to a statement by US senator and presidential candidate JD Vance saying the US is Israel’s “only ally.” According to reports, Netanyahu rejects the claim and argues that Israel receives significant support from other countries, naming India as an example. Netanyahu points to the scale of India’s population and portrays India as a major source of backing for Israel, responding directly to the earlier remark. The exchange highlights a dispute over how to characterize Israel’s international partnerships, with Vance’s comment focusing on the US role while Netanyahu emphasizes broader support beyond Washington. Both outlets describe Netanyahu’s rebuttal as an invocation of India’s support rather than a direct policy announcement, and they frame it as a pushback to Vance’s framing of Israel’s alliances. The reports do not indicate immediate changes to diplomatic policy or new agreements, focusing instead on the public disagreement about which countries are central to Israel’s support network.
