In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Vice President JD Vance spoke about the ongoing efforts to negotiate an end to the Gaza conflict, addressing both the question of governance in the region and the future of Judea and Samaria.
Vance explained, “There is a very complicated negotiation happening between Arab leaders, the Israelis, and the Trump administration, led by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. These conversations are happening as we speak.”
The Vice President expressed his confidence in the direction of the talks, saying, “thinks the President’s optimism is warranted here. I feel more optimistic about where we are now than where we had been at any point in the last eight months.”
At the same time, he urged caution about the fragile nature of such agreements. “These things can be derailed at the very last minute. So while I remain very hopeful, I’m cautious,” he noted.
Describing the essential framework of the plan, Vance stated: “We want all the hostages to come home, we want Hamas to no longer be a terror threat to Israel, and we want to bring the humanitarian aid in to the people who are caught up in the conflict.”
When asked about long-term control of the territories, Vance explained that the President has already made his view clear: “he wants Gaza to be controlled by the people who live there, he wants the West Bank to be controlled by the people who live there, and he wants the terrorist networks that are around the Israelis to be dismantled so that they could no longer pose a threat to Israel, especially the innocent civilians who live in Israel.”

Sounds quite ominous.
So he wants terrorists to control Gaza, Jews to control the West Bank, and Muslims to control New York and Texas. So why is he against Hamas in Gaza and Mamdani in New York?
