Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to U.S. Vice President Vance's remarks, asserting that while Trump is a great friend, Israel also has other allies, citing India's 'enormous' support, according to Ynet.
Prime Minister Netanyahu responded Sunday evening to recent remarks by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, who had said that Trump is 'the only world leader sympathetic to Israel right now.' Netanyahu acknowledged Trump as 'the greatest friend,' but added that 'there are others' — pointing to 'enormous' support from India. The exchange continues a pattern of public statements between Israeli and U.S. leaders on the nature of their alliance. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, Vance directly addressed members of Netanyahu's cabinet, warning them against attacking Trump. Netanyahu's latest remarks appear to push back against the framing of Israel as solely dependent on Trump, highlighting India as a significant strategic partner.
