Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly pushed back against US Vice President JD Vance's assertion that the United States is Israel's "only powerful ally" left in the world, bringing India into the conversation with a strong endorsement of the growing relationship between New Delhi and Jerusalem. Responding to Vance's remarks, Netanyahu said he respects the US Vice President but does not agree with everything he says. The Israeli Prime Minister rejected the suggestion that Israel stands alone internationally, pointing to India and its population of more than 1.4 billion people as proof of Israel's broad international support. Netanyahu described India as a country where Israel enjoys "tremendous support," underscoring the deepening strategic partnership between the two nations across defence, technology, trade, agriculture and security cooperation. The exchange comes after JD Vance warned Israeli leaders against alienating what he described as their "only powerful ally" in Washington. Vance also argued that Israel cannot solve every national security challenge through military action alone and emphasized the importance of maintaining close ties with the United States. WATCH
