Vice President JD Vance ripped Israeli officials who have criticized President Trump over the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, blasting them for complaining about the document that requires them to stop striking Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Vance told reporters in the White House briefing room Thursday that Israeli cabinet members had, in some cases, “very personally attacked the president of the United States.”

“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world,” he added, pointedly.

“Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world’s superpower.”

“Over the last three months, two-thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars,” Vance went on.

“The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the president of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in.”

Trump’s signing the truce with Iran on Wednesday evening ignited a political firestorm in Israel, with some commentators branding it “a catastrophic capitulation” and “a betrayal” of Israeli security interests by Washington. 

Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli told The Post he agreed “Israel has never had, and it is doubtful it will ever have, a better friend in the White House than Donald Trump.”

But he also explained that “no country has more at stake in a nuclear-capable Iran than Israel, which has absorbed heavy barrages of ballistic missiles on its territory and has been attacked by three Iranian proxy terror armies in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen.”

“For Israel, this is not a policy debate. It is an existential issue,” Chikli added.

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) does not commit Iran to any tangible steps toward denuclearization, but only opens a 60-day negotiation window that US officials hope will lead to a deal achieving that outcome.

The MOU also calls for a unilaterally declared cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon and takes no action to limit Iran’s ballistic missile stockpile.

“The murderous thugs of Tehran are not like any other state in the region,” Israeli ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter told NRB TV’s “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” on Thursday. “If they have ballistic missiles, they’re going to use them on their neighbors.”

“Tehran is not like any other state in the region. They’re not like any other state altogether.”

Meanwhile, the US has waived sanctions on Iranian oil and lifted a naval blockade on its ports — gifting Tehran a desperately needed cash flow even before the first round of nuclear negotiations has begun.

“My private view is that the Americans paid with cash and got [a] letter of intent with many ambiguities and business,” former Israeli National Security Adviser Major Gen. Yaakov Amidror told The Post. “When you pay cash, you expect to get something — and here the Americans didn’t get anything.”

Still, the Jewish Institute for National Security of America fellow agreed with Vance that Israeli officials should not lob personal attacks against Trump, while emphasizing that the Jewish state has other friends.

“You can criticize the agreement to make everyone understand why you criticize the agreement, put all your argument on the table, but don’t go personal,” Amidror said. “The fact that America is so important for Israel should not lead us to make mistakes that will not allow us to defend Israel.”

Chikli, meanwhile, expressed concern that the Iranian regime would use the money to sponsor more proxies in the region, as Tehran has “spent decades funding terror, threatening Israel’s destruction, deceiving the world, and crushing its own people.”

“Every dollar flowing back into Tehran fuels instability across the Middle East. Any deal must be judged by actions, not promises,” he said. “Any deal must be judged by actions, not promises.”

“Until Iran’s nuclear program and terror networks are dismantled, maximum pressure remains the only responsible path.”

The US has a right to do what it wants, Amidror said — but in reference to the conflict with Hezbollah, Israel should “not abandon its ability to defend itself because America wants it.”

Israel has refused Iran’s demand that it withdraw forces from Lebanon, where troops have been staged in the south for weeks hunting terrorists.

Some in the Iranian regime suggested behind closed doors that they could postpone signing the MOU until Israel pulls back, two regional sources told The Post, but cooler heads ultimately prevailed.

Still, critics worry those cooler heads are unreliable.

“[Tehran] wants the world to guarantee that no one will attack Iran,” said Beni Sabti, an Iranian and an Iran expert from Tel Aviv University’s Institute for National Security Studies. “It’s a very bad deal for the West, very good deal for Iran.”

Israel is due to hold parliamentary elections by late October, placing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an increasingly uncomfortable position as he seeks another term while navigating a rapidly shifting relationship with the White House.

According to Israeli reports, Netanyahu’s Likud party has abandoned plans to campaign heavily on the prime minister’s usual close relationship with Trump — a political asset that had long been considered one of his strongest selling points to voters, particularly after the return of all Oct. 7 hostages to Israel.

Trump has repeatedly criticized Netanyahu in recent months, creating an unusual public rift between the two leaders after years of close cooperation.

The apparent mood inside Netanyahu’s camp was summed up by a longtime ally who spoke to The New Yorker Wednesday.

“He has never been in shock like now. Not with Obama,” Channel 14 anchor Shimon Riklin said. “No one has caused a shock like Trump.”
