U.S. Vice President JD Vance flags disagreements with Israeli PM Netanyahu

U.S. Vice President JD Vance told CBS that while Israel remains a close partner, “sometimes our interests align perfectly, and other times they differ.” He said the Israeli prime minister had “certainly made a few mistakes,” referring to recent actions against Iran that diverged from Washington’s stance.

Vance emphasized that U.S. policy will prioritize American interests when divergences arise, noting that the relationship with Netanyahu has become strained, echoing earlier remarks by former President Trump calling the Israeli leader “completely crazy.” The comments highlight a growing rift in U.S.–Israel coordination on Middle‑East security and Iran.
