01 · THE DISPATCH

U.S. Vice President JD Vance offered a fresh defense of the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement on Thursday, suggesting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's relative silence on the matter is evidence of the deal's quality. According to an Israeli media report, Vance said: 'Netanyahu does not criticize the agreement with Iran because he knows its details.' The remark aligns with Vance's recent public relations campaign. As The Zioneer reported on June 15, Vance stated that 'some in Israel very much like' the deal, and on June 17 he said the text of the Memorandum of Understanding would be published by Friday. The administration's push for the agreement continues to face criticism from conservative commentators and some Israeli security analysts, while Vance maintains that the deal is a net positive for both the U.S. and Israel. The full text of the agreement remains classified.
