“NOT ACCEPTABLE” - Vance Slams Beirut Strikes and Fires Back at Netanyahu's Cabinet, June 20, 2026

U.S. Vice President JD Vance pushed back on reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is «fuming» over the new Iran deal, saying his own conversations with Bibi don't reflect that narrative. However, Vance took direct aim at members of Netanyahu's cabinet who have publicly attacked President Trump over the agreement, delivering a pointed warning that Donald Trump remains «the only head of state in the entire world» sympathetic to Israel at this critical moment. Vance reminded critics that two-thirds of the defensive weapons protecting Israel over the last three months were built by American hands and funded by American tax dollars, urging Israeli officials to «wake up and smell the reality» of their country's situation rather than targeting their most powerful remaining ally.
