Comment by US Vice President J.D. Vance "He worries" Tel Aviv
US Vice President J.D. Vance’s comment on the distinction between criticism of Israel and anti-Semitism raised questions in Tel Aviv, whether the gaps with President Donald Trump’s administration might widen.
In the details, J.D. Vance wrote, in a comment on the “X” platform, in which he stated that disliking or criticizing Israel should not be confused with anti-Semitism. These statements raised questions in Tel Aviv about the direction of American policy, and whether the interests of Israel and the United States might collide in the near future.
Anna Barsky, political correspondent for the newspaper “Maariv”, spoke in an interview on “Radio Tsafon 104.5FM” about this issue.
According to her, this message raises concern in Tel Aviv. She said: “This is a big warning sign for Israel. Vance wrote that dislike of or criticism of Israel should not be linked to anti-Semitism. These trends go beyond being just a passing statement, and when issued by the Vice President of the United States, they are something to be taken into account.”
Barsky also touched on the perception that was prevalent in Israel, specifically in certain circles within the right, towards the Trump administration, saying: “There was a perception that it was an administration that was absolutely supportive of Israel, and even to the point that it would fulfill the dreams of the right. I have a feeling that we may see signs of a reversal of approach.”
