JD Vance: "Netanyahu did not confront me"

US Vice President JD Vance rejected reports in an interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confronted him during their last meeting in Washington.

"He did not confront me. We had a pleasant and honest conversation," Vance said.

According to him, Israel has been a great partner and is an ally of the United States, but he added that "like France, Britain, or any other ally, sometimes we have disagreements." Vance emphasized that his role is to act for American interests: "My job is to promote the interests of no other country on the planet, except the United States." He explained that when interests align, they discuss common goals, and when positions differ, they have an honest conversation.

Addressing the situation with Iran, Vance noted that contacts are progressing unevenly: "Sometimes you need one step forward, two steps back, then three steps forward and one step back." He explained that within the Iranian regime there are elements interested in ending the war, alongside "crazy extremists" who seek to continue it. Vance promised that the process will be "messy" but vowed that Iran "will never possess a nuclear weapon."

Finally, Vance attacked Abdul El-Sayed, who won the Democratic primary for the Senate in Michigan, calling him a "limousine socialist." He argued that El-Sayed, who opposes Donald Trump's tariffs that "saved Michigan's auto industry," does not truly represent the working class. El-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers in November.
