TL;DR

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance reportedly warned members of Prime Minister Netanyahu's cabinet not to attack President Donald Trump, saying Trump is the only world leader who supports Israel and that the state of Israel was built with American money. The remarks, attributed to a 'further' comment by Vance in Israeli media, echo themes from a recent interview in which Vance criticized Israeli officials targeting Trump.

01 · THE DISPATCH

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has made a further statement criticizing members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet who have attacked President Donald Trump. According to Israeli media reports, Vance said: 'My message to the people in Bibi's government — don't attack the only world leader who supports you. Your country was built with our money.'

The remark follows an interview Vance gave earlier this week, in which he said Trump is the only head of state in the world sympathetic to Israel at this moment, and noted that two-thirds of Israel's defensive weapons were recently supplied by the U.S. As The Zioneer reported, those comments drew sharp attention in Israeli political circles.

The source for the new quote is a single report circulating on Israeli media; an exact venue or timestamp for Vance's latest comment has not been independently confirmed. The remark is part of an ongoing public tension between some Israeli coalition figures and the Trump administration over policy on Gaza, Iran, and settlement activity.
