US VP Vance Declines to Endorse Netanyahu as Trump Backs Israeli Leader

October 20, 2026 • 10 hours ago •

WASHINGTON: US Vice President JD Vance announced on Monday that he would not endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming elections, choosing instead to remain neutral. In an interview with journalist Mark Halperin, Vance clarified, “I’m not anti-endorsing him. I’m not pro-endorsing him. I’m not getting involved in Israeli elections.”

Vance emphasized his focus on American political matters, particularly the upcoming midterm elections, stating, “I endorse American candidates and that’s where I’m focused on.” His comments come in stark contrast to former President Donald Trump, who publicly endorsed Netanyahu on Sunday as the Israeli leader campaigns for a new term in the October 27 parliamentary elections.

This divergence in approach highlights the complexities of US-Israel relations and the varying strategies within the Republican Party regarding foreign policy. Vance’s decision to abstain from endorsing Netanyahu may reflect a broader trend among some US politicians who prefer to prioritize domestic issues over international endorsements.

As the Israeli elections approach, the political landscape remains dynamic, with both local and international implications. Observers will be keen to see how Vance’s stance influences perceptions of US support for Israel and whether it affects Netanyahu’s campaign strategy.
