U.S. Vice President JD Pence did not endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's re-election campaign, while just a day before that, U.S. President Donald Trump had just expressed his support for this leader.

In an interview on Mark Halperin's program “2WAY Tonight”, Vance said, “The president has the most effective endorsement in the history of American or international politics. I will endorse the American candidate, and that is also the focus of my attention during the midterms.” The program was released on Monday.

Wans stated that he is not criticizing Netanyahu: 'I am not against endorsing him, nor am I in favor of endorsing him,' he said, and added, 'I will not get involved in the Israeli elections.'

These statements are different from Trump's actions. Last Sunday, Trump publicly supported this Israeli Prime Minister to participate in next week's elections.

Trump called Netanyahu on the social media platform Truth Social a "great warrior prime minister and an even greater partner in fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran and striving for peace." Netanyahu subsequently thanked Trump on social media for the "great support and joint efforts."

Wans has also been involved in foreign politics before. In April, he publicly supported the re-election campaign of Viktor Orban, who was then the Prime Minister of Hungary, in Budapest. Orban later stepped down after 16 years in power. Last year, during a security conference in Munich, Wans met with Alice Weidel, the leader of the German far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD); Elon Musk was also campaigning for her at that time.

Israel's vote next week will be the first national election since Hamas attacked Israel at the end of 2023.

These remarks also emerge at a time of changing public opinion within the United States. Historically, American public support for Israel has been strong among both Republicans and Democrats, but it has now declined significantly. Within the U.S., there has been intense debate regarding the response of Netanyahu's government to Hamas attacks.

In June of this year, Vance stated that Israel hardly has any friends left in the world, and should think twice before turning against its only remaining friend.
