JD Vance, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, has accused Israel of manipulating U.S. public opinion to extend the war with Iran. Vance made these claims during a campaign event in Ohio on Wednesday, where he accused Israel of pushing the United States into wars that serve Israel’s interests rather than America’s.
Vance’s comments come amidst rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with the Biden administration engaging in indirect talks with Iran over reviving the 2015 nuclear deal. Israel has been a vocal critic of the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and has urged the U.S. to take a stronger stance against Iran’s nuclear program.
In response to Vance’s accusations, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) issued a statement condemning his remarks as “conspiracy theories with antisemitic undertones.” AIPAC stated that the U.S.-Israel relationship is based on shared values and mutual interests, including promoting stability in the Middle East and combating terrorism.
Vance, who is vying for the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Rob Portman, has been positioning himself as a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump’s America First agenda. His comments on Israel have sparked debate and controversy, with some critics labeling his remarks as divisive and dangerous.
Israel has not officially responded to Vance’s accusations, and it remains to be seen how his comments will impact his campaign and future relations with the pro-Israel lobby in the U.S. Senate.
