Vance Declines to Endorse Netanyahu for Reelection

Vice President JD Vance said he will not endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for re-election, stating he endorses only American candidates and is focused on U.S. midterms. The stance contrasts with President Donald Trump, who has given Netanyahu his "complete and total" support ahead of Israel's election. Vance's comment drew notice because he previously campaigned in Hungary for former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
