Netanyahu-Vance Tensions Persist After Direct White House Talk

Former Israeli consul Yaki Dayan said Friday that a partial reconciliation is unlikely to change Vice President JD Vance's underlying view of Israel, though it may make him more cautious publicly. Israeli and American officials said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raised Vance's recent criticism and Israel's standing among Republicans during a direct White House discussion Tuesday. Vance has questioned Israeli war assessments and warned Israeli leaders against attacking President Donald Trump's Iran policy. Dayan said bipartisan support for Israel is narrowing as both U.S. political camps move away from the center.
