VP Vance Blasts Knesset’s “Weird” Sovereignty Vote as “Stupid Political Stunt”

Vice President JD Vance sharply rebuked Israel’s Knesset following its vote to extend sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, saying the move made little sense and served no real purpose.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force Two as he prepared to depart Israel, Vance described the decision as “weird” and admitted he found it confusing.

The Vice President said he had been told the measure was intended merely as a “symbolic” act and a “political stunt.” He didn’t hold back in his response: “If it was a political stunt, then it was a stupid political stunt, and I personally take some insult to it.”

Clarifying the administration’s stance, Vance emphasized that Washington’s approach remained firm: “The West Bank is not going to be annexed by Israel. The policy of the Trump administration is that the West Bank will not be annexed by Israel. That will continue to be our policy.”
