## JD Vance tells Iran deal critics in Israel: Trump is your only ally left in the world

Authored by theguardian.com

US vice-president JD Vance has lashed out at Israeli critics of the Iran deal, saying Donald Trump is Israel’s only ally left in the world, in a sharp rebuke that referenced the billions in defence aid ⁠the country receives from America.

​No 1: Donald J Trump is the only head of state in the entire world ‌who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this ‌moment in time,” Vance told reporters.

“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left ‌in the entire world.“.

The US provides Israel with roughly $4bn in military assistance a year, but the two countries are negotiating a new aid agreement.

Trump has repeatedly criticised longtime ally Israel, spiking tensions ⁠nearly four months after the two countries partnered to attack Iran.

You can’t just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have,” Vance said.

“We expect a complete Ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel,” Trump wrote. »
