US Representative Randy Fine (R-FL) said Israeli politicians should adopt an 'Israel First' policy rather than 'America First', arguing that Israel is not party to the US-Iran deal and should not be accused of divided loyalties.
US Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL) issued a pointed statement Wednesday morning, urging Israeli politicians to prioritize their own national interests over those of the United States. 'I'm a man of America First, and part of America First is respecting the right of other countries to put themselves first,' Fine said. He added that Israel is not a party to any US-Iran agreement and that he 'would expect Israeli politicians to be Israel First, not America First.' Fine also stated that Israelis should not be accused of dual loyalty to the United States.
The remarks come amid ongoing reports of a potential US-Iran framework, though details remain unconfirmed. Fine's statement appears to be a follow-up to his sharp rebuke of Vice President Vance last Friday, as The Zioneer reported at the time, over Vance's comments regarding Israel. That earlier exchange set the stage for Fine's latest call for Israeli political independence from American foreign-policy priorities.
