Prime Minister Netanyahu struck back at U.S. Vice President Vance’s remarks during a Fox News interview Sunday evening, asserting that Israel enjoys broad international support — 'many, many friends.'
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back against U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance's recent critical comments in a Fox News interview aired Sunday evening. Without directly quoting Vance, Netanyahu made the case that Israel is not diplomatically isolated and counts 'many, many friends' globally. The remarks come amid a period of unusual public friction between the Trump administration and the Israeli premier, with President Trump having made a series of pointed remarks about Netanyahu in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, Trump called Netanyahu a 'good guy' who 'gets too excited' and suggested the US needs to 'keep him somewhat sane.' Netanyahu's latest media appearance appears designed to counter the narrative of a strained relationship, emphasizing Israel's broader strategic partnerships, though the interview's full content is still emerging.
