JD Vance Declines Netanyahu Endorsement 1 Day After Trump Backed Him

Summary
JD Vance said Monday he will not endorse Benjamin Netanyahu’s reelection, drawing a line between Trump’s intervention in Israel’s race and his own focus on U.S. midterm candidates.
On "2WAY Tonight," Vance said he is "not getting involved in Israeli elections," while stressing his neutrality was neither support for nor opposition to Netanyahu.
1 day earlier, Trump gave Netanyahu his "Complete and Total Endorsement" in a Truth Social post, calling him a key ally in confronting Iran; Netanyahu publicly thanked him for the backing.
The split in approach stands out because Politico reported Vance had campaigned in Hungary with Viktor Orban in April before Orban lost his reelection bid.
