[Video below.] Israeli Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu pushed back against Vice President J.D. Vance’s recent assertion that the United States is Israel’s only significant ally, saying that while President Donald Trump has been Israel’s greatest friend in the White House, the Jewish state also enjoys strong relationships with many other countries around the world.

During an interview Sunday with Fox News anchor Jacqui Heinrich, Netanyahu was asked about remarks Vance made during a White House briefing last month.

At that briefing, Vance said, “Donald J. Trump the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time. And he happens to be the head of state of the world’s superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.”

Heinrich then asked Netanyahu, “What was your reaction when you heard that?”

The Israeli leader began by expressing respect for Vance while making it clear that they do not always see eye to eye.

“First of all, I respect J.D. Vance,” Netanyahu began. “We have a very good relationship, but it doesn’t mean that I agree with everything that he says, and I have to point out this: Donald Trump is a great, the greatest friend we’ve ever had in the White House, and I stand by that completely.”

Netanyahu went on to argue that Israel’s network of allies extends well beyond Washington, pointing to India as one example of a nation that has shown tremendous support.

“Secondly, we have some other friends like the small country of India, you know? It has 1.4 billion people. And, boy,” Netanyahu chuckled, “do we have tremendous support there. I have this Facebook thing,” he laughed again. “I’m just flooded by the overwhelming support there. And we have many others.”

Expanding on that point, Netanyahu said many foreign leaders privately express admiration for Israel despite anti-Israel sentiment in their own countries.

“Let me tell you where we have support, because it’s fashionable now, you know, in many countries, because their media and their social media are inundated with anti-Israel, antisemitic material. Many leaders, you know, call me up and say, ‘Hey, look, I’ve got this problem with public opinion, but I want you to know, we respect you, and can we make some deals? And can you teach us some of the things that your military does? And can we have some of your AI and cyber expertise?’ You know, Israel is the number two country in cyber in the world. And our technology is, it’s so good. So, the relations are not quite as they appear. And we have many, many friends.”
