Vice President JD Vance spoke about the relationship between the United States and Israel on Monday, saying the two countries share many common goals but do not always see eye to eye. Vance made the remarks during an appearance on Fox News‘ Jesse Watters Primetime, addressing what he described as areas where American and Israeli interests part ways.
“The Israelis and the United States, we have a lot of shared interests, but we also have some situations where our interests diverge,” Vance said on the program. He added that while Israel has its own objectives, the United States’ primary goal regarding Iran is to prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
