JD Vance Declines To Endorse Netanyahu For Reelection. U.S. Vice President JD Vance has declined to endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection, despite President Donald Trump's backing. Vance said he would not get involved in the Israeli election and was instead focused on endorsing American candidates ahead of the U.S. midterms. ”I'm not anti-endorsing him. I'm not pro-endorsing him. I'm not getting involved in Israeli elections," the vice president said. Vance previously campaigned alongside former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Budapest and met leaders of Germany's major political parties during a visit to Munich. Trump endorsed Netanyahu on Sunday, praising him as a "Great Warrior Prime Minister" and a key partner in confronting Iran. Netanyahu thanked Trump for his "tremendous support" and said he was "honored and humbled" by the endorsement. Support for Israel has declined among Americans in recent years, particularly following the Israeli government's response to the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. Vance has previously argued that U.S. and Israeli interests do not always align, while warning Israel against alienating its remaining international allies.
