01 · THE DISPATCH

U.S. Vice President JD Vance expressed confidence Tuesday that Israel would join the emerging U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU), telling CBS News that the agreement 'is going to make Israel safer, going to make the entire region safer.'

'We feel quite confident that the Israelis are going to be brought in,' Vance said.

The remarks continue a series of Vance statements on the deal, which the administration is expected to formalize in Geneva in the coming days. As The Zioneer reported Monday, Vance had previously said that 'many in Israel' were satisfied with the agreement. On Monday, Vance also said he intends to attend the signing ceremony and that President Donald Trump may also attend.

Several senior U.S. officials have emphasized in recent days that Washington is confident Israel will ultimately join the framework, which they describe as covering the entire region, including Lebanon. Vance's Tuesday interview is the latest effort to bring the deal's regional security benefits — including for Israel — before the American public.
