Israeli minister says 'Gaza will be entirely destroyed' •

VIDEO: Vice president Vance in a message to to Israeli cabinet members:

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

2/3 of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.

The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in”

FACT CHECKING JD VANCE:

JD Vance accused Israeli cabinet members of personally attacking President Trump and warned them to be careful, telling them that Israel relies heavily on American military support.

I went looking for the alleged ‘personal attacks’ on President Trump:

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said Israel “is not a banana republic” and that the agreement “does not bind us in any way.”

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called the deal “bad for Israel and for the entire free world” and warned Israel may have to continue confronting Iran alone.

Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Israeli forces would remain in southern Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.

I could not find any cabinet minister personally attacking President Trump.

JD appears to have just made that up.

The White House has now confirmed that U.S. Vice President JD Vance will no longer be departing Washington tonight for technical talks Friday in Switzerland with Iran, citing “logistics” involving the delegation from Iran. This announcement follows Israel’s refusal to withdraw from large areas it currently occupies in Southern Lebanon, a stark challenge to the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Iran and the United States.
