JD Vance refuses to back Netanyahu for re-election, splitting with Trump a week before Israel goes to the polls

JD Vance refuses to back Netanyahu for re-election, splitting with Trump a week before Israel goes to the polls

'I'm not anti-endorsing him. I'm not pro-endorsing him,' Vice President JD Vance told Mark Halperin on Monday. He said he only endorses American candidates and is focused on the midterms. The snub came a day after President Donald Trump gave Benjamin Netanyahu his 'complete and total endorsement'. Trump warned America would have to 'do this work ourselves' against Iran without Netanyahu. Israelis vote on 27 October.

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

Steve Bannon said his 'War Room' was 'not wild' about Trump backing Netanyahu.

Bannon demanded a 'massive investigation' by the US into the run-up to October 7.
