(FILES) US President Donald Trump (C) and US Vice President JD Vance (R) meet with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on February 4, 2025. US Vice President JD Vance said he would not be following Donald Trump in endorsing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and wanted to stay on the sidelines. "I'm not anti-endorsing him. I'm not pro-endorsing him. I'm not getting involved in Israeli elections," Vance said of Netanyahu, in an interview October 19 with journalist Mark Halperin. Trump on October 18 issued a public endorsement of his right-wing ally Netanyahu, who is seeking a new term as premier in Israel's October 27 parliamentary election.
