U.S. Vice President JD Vance told Joe Rogan that Israel is more effective than most countries at influencing American politics, but is not alone in trying. He also said he represents the 'reasonable center' in the debate over Israel, which he described as an ally like France or Britain, with disagreements as well as agreements, according to Channel 12.
In a wide-ranging interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, U.S. Vice President JD Vance made two notable remarks on Israel. According to Channel 12's Tomer Almagor, Vance said Israel is 'more effective than most countries' at influencing American politics, but stressed it is not the only country trying to do so. 'Clearly they will try to convince Americans,' he added. The remarks come from the same interview in which Vance called himself the 'reasonable center' in the polarized U.S. debate on Israel, and described Israel as a critical ally with whom the U.S. has disagreements as well as agreements — as The Zioneer reported earlier tonight. Vance has been a central figure in the Trump administration's Middle East policy, recently promoting the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement, which he has argued is good for Israel.
