## Summary

Israel’s UN ambassador, Danny Danon, has rejected US Vice President JD Vance’s claim that the war with Iran was the main reason Republicans suffered sweeping losses in the midterm elections. Vance had also argued that the party should reconsider its relationship with Israel.

Danon said it was wrong to blame Israel for the election result or link the conflict to rising prices, particularly oil prices. He stressed that the decision to attack Iran was made by the United States, while Israel supported the operation and considered it the right choice.
