Vice President JD Vance declined to endorse Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel's October 27 election, one day after President Trump endorsed him.
In an interview with journalist Mark Halperin, Vance said he was "not getting involved in Israeli elections" and was focused on US midterms. Trump had endorsed Netanyahu on social media, calling him a "Great Warrior Prime Minister." Vance later told reporters he would not endorse "any more foreign candidates," citing his earlier backing of Hungary's Viktor Orban.
