Speaking publicly, Pence acknowledged disagreements with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating Netanyahu has “certainly gotten some things wrong,” but maintained he remains a “good partner.” The Vice President indicated the administration hopes to reach an agreement with Iran within days or months. This pursuit of a deal signals a divergence in strategy between the US and Israel regarding Iran’s nuclear program. Pence’s comments highlight the US administration’s prioritization of a revised Iran nuclear agreement, even while acknowledging and attempting to downplay tensions with a key ally. The timeframe suggested indicates an urgency to the negotiations. The statement was made during a public appearance and reported by The Times of Israel.
