Radio host Sid Rosenberg reported that he met with Vice President-elect JD Vance on Thursday, describing the encounter as a successful effort to 'charm' the incoming official. The meeting took place against the backdrop of recent public friction between the two regarding foreign policy, specifically the future of U.S. support for Israel.

Prior to the meeting, Rosenberg had publicly criticized Vance for his statements concerning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Vance had previously suggested that a Trump-Vance administration would be willing to 'part ways' with the Israeli leader if necessary. Furthermore, Vance had argued that U.S. policy in the Middle East should not be 'subservient to the State of Israel,' a position that drew significant attention and concern from some pro-Israel commentators, including Rosenberg.

While Rosenberg characterized the meeting as a positive interaction where he was able to influence the Vice President-elect’s perspective, the official readout from the Vance camp regarding the specific substance of their conversation remains limited. The meeting highlights the ongoing dialogue between the incoming administration and various segments of the Jewish community, some of whom have expressed apprehension regarding the 'America First' foreign policy platform advocated by Donald Trump and JD Vance.
