US Vice President JD Vance has lashed out at Israeli critics of the US-Iran peace deal, saying that Tel Aviv cannot just 'kill its way out' of every national security problem.
Vance defended the deal, saying that US President Donald Trump is Israel's only ally and that two-thirds of Israel's defensive weapons have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.
In an interview with the New York Times, Vance criticized Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich for opposing the US-Iran peace deal.
Vance said, 'What is your exact proposal? You're a country of 9 million people. You can't just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have.'
US President Donald Trump has also weighed in on the issue, encouraging everyone in West Asia to maintain their commitment to allowing negotiations to take place.
