Israel's permanent representative to the UN, Danny Danon, said the decision to attack Iran was taken by the United States rather than Israel, and rejected holding Tel Aviv responsible for the economic fallout and for the Republican Party's election losses, in response to US Vice President JD Vance's remarks linking the Republicans' defeat in the congressional elections to the war on Iran. Danon acknowledged that the coming phase will be harder for Israel, while President Donald Trump acknowledged that the war contributed to his party's losses but defended his decision.
Anadolu focused on Danon's statement that the decision to attack Iran was American and on his remarks about economic fallout and the future of military aid and defense cooperation, while Tawasul News Network limited itself to his holding Washington fully responsible for the war without context, and Watan Yagharrid Kharij Al-Sirb addressed the response to Vance's remarks about reviewing relations with Israel and added Trump's position on his party's losses.
