The war in Iran has started because of America's decision. This is what Danny Danon, Israel's representative to the United Nations, claimed. He is also known to be close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to a part of the informed circles, Tel Aviv's 'colour' changes after US President Donald Trump's party loses in the mid-term elections.
In an interview with Israeli media, Danon said, “It is unfair to associate Israel with the rise in oil prices and the economic disaster caused by the Iran war. The decision to attack Iran was America's. Not ours. We only supported Washington's decision. In our opinion, it was the right decision.” “It's too easy to always blame Israel for everything,” he added. Significantly, his comments came as US Vice President JD Vance indirectly blamed US-Israel relations for the vote debacle.
In a message Wednesday, Vance said the Iran war was one of the main reasons Republicans lost the vote. According to him, a large part of the voters did not see this conflict well. Many have opposed it. He mentioned that several urgent changes should be made to make the party acceptable to the people again. One of them is to change the pattern of America's relationship with Israel. This situation has created new heat in Washington-Tel Aviv diplomatic relations. On this day, Vance spoke about the 'America-first' policy. In Vance's words, “The Iran war has become a burden to Republicans. That's why people who voted for Trump or Vance in 2024 are turning to Democrats today.”
It is to be noted that the increase in fuel prices and the cost of living in America due to the Iran war had long caused discontent among a large section of the people. All these issues are used by Democrats in the campaign, which has an impact at the ballot box.
