JD Vance, Trump's VP pick, promises to increase weapons and cash shipments to Israel while advancing Abraham Accords

The reason why Israel's latest war in Gaza is still raging on after nearly a full-term pregnancy's length of time since October 7 is because of President Biden's lack of support for the Jewish state, according to Ohio Sen. JD Vance, Donald Trump's pick for vice president. In a recent interview with Fox News, Vance revealed that his "America First" foreign policy plans include sending a lot more weapons and cash to Israel on demand in order to accelerate the Netanyahu regime's efforts to take out Hamas. "Joe Biden has done nothing to help our ally Israel," Vance declared. "Joe Biden has made it harder and harder for Israel to win that war. He has prolonged the war to take out Hamas. Echoing Israel's sentiment that Biden is "micromanaging" Benjamin Netanyahu's offensive, including by preventing it from attacking the Gaza Strip with even more force, Vance wants Israel to receive all the support it needs to get the job done at warp speed. "You want two things to happen," Vance continued. "Number one is you want to get this war over and as quickly as possible because the longer it goes on the harder [Israel's] situation becomes. But second, after the war, you want to reinvigorate that peace process between Israel, Saudi Arabia, the Jordanians and so forth." (Related: The Anti-Defamation League [ADL] insists that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution must be scrapped in order to "protect Israel.")

Will a second Trump term bring peace and safety to the Middle East?

After helping Israel to achieve a swift victory in Gaza, Vance suggested that a second Trump term would bring an advancement of the Abraham Accords, which aim to bring peace and safety to Israel and the Middle East. Vance's plan involves strengthening the alliances between Israel and the "Sunni Arab states" that surround it. This is necessary, he says, in order to "form a united front against Iran." Based on everything Vance said in the interview, it appears as though a second Trump term would bridge the gap between now and his first term, providing continuity to Trump's ongoing agenda in the Middle East. As you may recall, Trump's foreign policy against Iran was hawkish between 2017 and 2021. He ramped up sanctions against the Islamic Republic; killed a number of senior Revolutionary Guard commanders such as Qassem Soleimani; and targeted Iran's self-described "Axis of Resistance." While Hamas is technically part of the Islamist Sunni movement, the group's ties to and cooperation with Iran's primarily Shia proxies, including Lebanon's Hezbollah, have reportedly deepened. As such, a second Trump term would likely take stronger aim at these growing alliances. The so-called Abraham Accords were one of the Trump Administration's most notable pro-Israel achievements. Implemented in 2020, the Abraham Accords normalized relations between Israel, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain, with all of these countries now mutually recognizing the threat that Iran poses to the region. "The Abraham Accords ... showed real promise of uniting the Israelis with some of the Sunni Arab states," Vance says. "You've ... got to enable the Israelis and the Sunni Arab states to work together and actually provide a counterbalance to Iran." Palestinians and much of the larger Arab and Muslim world that supports a Palestinian state hate the Abraham Accords because they advance Israel's agenda in the region. "The most important part of the Trump doctrine of foreign policy is you don't commit America's troops unless you really have to, but when you do, you punch and you punch hard," Vance further said, taking aim at Biden's strikes against the Houthis in Yemen and the Iranian proxies in Iran for being "weak little bombing runs." As for which U.S. presidential candidate will be the most closely aligned with Israel, Vance reassured the world that Israel "d[oes]n't have a better friend than Donald Trump."
