National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir replied on X to comments by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, writing: 'We must confront the Nazis of the 21st century, just as the United States confronted the Nazis of the 20th century.' Ben Gvir did not specify which actions or policies he was referring to, but his response follows Vance's remarks on the US-Iran agreement.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Thursday evening responded on X to remarks by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, writing that Israel must confront 'the Nazis of the 21st century' the same way the U.S. fought the Nazis of the 20th century. Ben Gvir did not elaborate on the specific threat or policy he was urging. The minister's post comes after Vance's recent statements on the U.S.-Iran agreement, which Israeli journalist Tomer Almogor (N12) said partially contradicts the signed memorandum of understanding, which bars discussion of topics such as ballistic missiles and proxies. As The Zioneer previously reported, U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee offered a warm greeting to Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu at a conference in Samaria this week, highlighting the close U.S.-Israel ties on the ground even as policy debates continue in Washington.
