Vice President JD Vance has declined to endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, diverging from Donald Trump's complete and total support of the leader. The split comes just one week before the Israeli elections scheduled for October 27.
Vance stated that he is not getting involved in Israeli elections. He explained his position by saying that he endorses American candidates and that is where he is focused for the midterms.
This stance contrasts with Vance's previous political activity, as he campaigned for ousted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán this spring.
