Trump willing to ‘part ways’ with Netanyahu when necessary, has often opposed him, Vance says

The claim that Trump is the “one president” who would differ with Netanyahu is one that would surprise many watchers of the US-Israel relationship.

Vice President Joe Biden's right-hand man, JD Vance, stated during a virtual appearance at a Los Angeles tech summit that President Donald Trump has consistently opposed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when it came to what he deemed as differing interests between the two nations. Vance claimed that Trump was the only president in the past 40 years to have been willing to part ways with Netanyahu when he believed the American people's interests diverged from those of the Israeli government.

This statement comes at a time when the relationship between the US and Israel is becoming increasingly strained, especially as the November midterm elections approach and Netanyahu's popularity in the US continues to decline.
