Israel; The Gaza ceasefire deal is hanging by a thread, and in the midst of this, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delivered a serious statement on the U.S. following his meeting with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. He has made it clear that Israel is not America's slave. Netanyahu warned that if Hamas does not agree to disarmament, the war could escalate further.

On October 23 in Jerusalem, Netanyahu rejected allegations of U.S. control. "Israel determines its own security. We are not America's slaves," he stated.

Vance stated that Hamas must be neutralized as a threat to Israel, though he acknowledged the difficulty. Netanyahu rejected the notion of labeling America as a "master" or subordinate nation as absurd. "Some think America runs Israel, others believe Israel runs America. Both are nonsense. We are both strong partners," Netanyahu clarified.
