J.D. Vance reminds Israeli critics of Donald Trump that the US is their only powerful ally
James David Vance asked Donald Trump's critics in Israel to take into account that the US, in addition to being their ally, provides them with weapons for their defense
James David Vance, vice president of the nation, urged Israeli officials critical of President Donald Trump not to lose sight of the fact that the United States is not only their only powerful ally, but also finances much of the weapons and ammunition used to defend themselves against their enemies.
Recently, the New York magnate signed a 14-point document in Versailles aimed at establishing the bases for a definitive peace agreement with Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The commitment includes a $300 billion dollar fund to help Iran's reconstruction, but something even more controversial and not part of the document is the possibility of preserving a large part of its arsenal of ballistic missiles considered to some extent harmless to Donald Trump.
"They have to have something, because other people have something. You have to have something. The missiles damage a small area, but they don't blow up the planet.
We have neutralized probably between 84 and 85% of their missiles. The rest are underground; "They can't even get them out," said the president during a press conference of the Group of Seven (G7).
The flexibility exhibited by Trump in order to put an end to the war that began on February 28 caused discomfort in Israel.
“Trump signs an agreement that channels billions of dollars to the Ayatollah regime, leaves the nuclear infrastructure intact, maintains the ballistic threat as is, and provides a lifeline to the murderous regime in Tehran,” Yair Golan, leader of a center-left party and former Israeli general, wrote on platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security of Israel, joined the disqualifications of the agreement, making it clear that Donald Trump's position does not fit with the way of thinking of the Jewish nation.
"Trump's agreement does not bind us. Israel is not subordinate to the United States. We are an independent and sovereign country. We are not part of this agreement, which does not guarantee our security," he said in a statement.
To counter Israeli criticism, J.D. Vance issued a conference at the White House reminding his allies of the importance of supporting the position taken by the United States.
“If I were part of the Israeli government cabinet, I probably wouldn't be attacking my only remaining powerful ally in the world.
Another thing I would like to say is that, in the last three months, two-thirds of the defensive weapons that protected your homeland have been manufactured by American hands and financed by American taxes,” he emphasized.
