In a post on his X account on Tuesday, Aref cited a remark by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying, “Vance [US Vice President] reported to me on his way back from Islamabad, as he does every day.”

“For the first time in history, a senior official of a government is providing ‘daily briefings’ to the head of another state!" he said. 

"Do the American people realize that the White House has effectively turned into a ‘reporting branch’ for another regime?” Aref added.
