US Vice President JD Vance refrained from endorsing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the Israeli elections, Walla and i24NEWS reported. Vance's stance marks a divergence from that of President Donald Trump, who recently expressed explicit public support for Netanyahu.

In an interview with American journalist Mark Halperin, Vance was asked directly whether he endorses the prime minister ahead of the vote. Vance replied that his focus remains on American candidates ahead of the US midterm elections, adding: "I don't get involved in Israeli elections."
