Vice President JD Vance warned Israel to fall in line after numerous reports said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fuming over a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran.

“What I will say, and this does bother me, is you have seen people within [Netanyahu’s] Cabinet who have come out and attacked the deal, and in some ways, very personally attacked the president of the United States,” Vance said during a White House press briefing on Thursday.

The agreement, which will give Iran $300 billion and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, does little to accomplish Israel’s war aims, reportedly sending Netanyahu into stunned anger.

“It’s a bad agreement in which the Americans are paying with cash, and got, at the maximum, a letter of intent,” Yaakov Amidror, a former national security adviser to Netanyahu, told The New York Times.

During his press briefing on Thursday, Vance said Trump “is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.”

“If I was in the Cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world,” he added.

Vance also reminded Israel that two-thirds of its defensive weapons were “built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.”

Vance also accused Israel of delaying negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.

At times, he said, “We seem to be right on the cusp of a major breakthrough in the agreement, and then all of a sudden there’s a major explosion that goes off in a major population center in Beirut, and a lot of people who have nothing to do with Hezbollah lose their lives, and that’s not acceptable.”

Vance said Trump has become frustrated with Israel for attacking Lebanon.

“Israel has a right to defend itself,” Vance said. “But fundamentally, the Israelis, just like everybody else, have to respect this peace process.”
