'I'm not getting involved': JD Vance breaks with Trump and declines to endorse Netanyahu ahead of Israel's election

'I'm not getting involved': JD Vance breaks with Trump and declines to endorse Netanyahu ahead of Israel's election

President Donald Trump gave Benjamin Netanyahu his 'complete and total endorsement' on Sunday, declaring 'Bibi Netanyahu will never let you down!' Pressed by Mark Halperin a day later, Vice President JD Vance replied: 'I'm not anti-endorsing him. I'm not pro-endorsing him.' He said he endorses only American candidates and is focused on the midterms. Israelis are due to vote on 27 October.

Trump warned America will 'have to do this work ourselves' if Netanyahu loses.

Steve Bannon said his 'War Room' was 'not wild' about Trump's endorsement.

Vance stumped for Viktor Orban in Budapest in April, days before Orban's party lost.
