Israeli media personality Yinon Magal clashed with U.S. Vice President JD Vance after sharply criticizing the Trump administration’s ceasefire deal with Iran.

Speaking to Megyn Kelly on SiriusXM, Vance was asked about Magal’s criticism, including his description of Vance as “scum” and President Donald Trump as a “loser.” Vance responded by accusing critics of the deal of echoing Tehran’s narrative.

“If you find yourself adopting Iranian propaganda only as it relates to this deal, maybe you should check yourself and question your sources,” Vance said. He also argued that opponents of the agreement were offering no real alternative beyond endless war, saying some critics wanted the fighting to continue “until every bomb has been dropped, or until every Iranian is dead.”

Magal’s criticism came after the ceasefire announcement, amid anger among Israelis who said Washington had forced Israel into stopping short against Iran. In his post, Magal said Israel had been “left alone” and accused Vance, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff of pushing a diplomatic track under pressure from Gulf states and Qatar-linked money.

Vance defended the administration’s policy, saying Trump had achieved his main goals: setting back Iran’s nuclear program, reducing Iran’s threat to its neighbors and creating space for negotiations. He also pointed to falling oil prices as proof that the deal was helping American consumers.

Magal did not back down after the interview. He posted a short response saying, “I’m with Rubio,” and added: “If Vance wants to say something to me, he should come to The Patriots,” referring to his popular right-wing Channel 14 panel show.
