Nournews: Statements by Benjamin Netanyahu claiming that J.D. Vance, the vice president to Donald Trump, reports to him on a daily basis constitute an unprecedented development in international relations. In modern history, it has rarely been observed that a senior official from a global power provides daily information to another government.
This issue goes beyond simple coordination and can be interpreted as a sign of the White House turning into a “reporting branch” for the Zionist regime. In other words, the decision-making center of the United States in certain areas appears not only to lack independence but to operate within the framework of Tel Aviv’s demands and priorities.
This matter suggests that the claim of mere coordination serves as a cover for a deeper dependency—one that has seriously called U.S. strategic independence into question.
Trump: From “America First” to Turning the White House into a Reporting Branch
Donald Trump, in the 2024 election, secured significant support under the slogan “America First,” yet his performance in both domestic and foreign arenas has revealed major contradictions within this slogan.
One notable example is Trump’s offensive remarks toward Pope Francis, the leader of the world’s Catholics—an action that triggered widespread religious and political reactions internationally and demonstrated a departure from diplomatic norms and respect for global religious leaders.
Alongside this, strict anti-immigration policies, hostile behavior toward Muslims, and increased economic pressure on American society all illustrate the gap between promises and actual performance.
The disclosure of reporting to Israel represents the most significant sign of this contradiction—where “America First” has effectively shifted toward “Israel First.”
Internal Admissions: From Joe Kent to a Crisis of Legitimacy
Alongside these developments, the statements and resignation of Joe Kent, a U.S. counterterrorism official, carry particular importance. He stated explicitly that “Iran has not been a direct threat to the United States” and that the country’s involvement in tensions has occurred under the influence of Israeli interests.
These remarks challenge the official narrative of U.S. foreign policy and indicate the presence of divisions within the country’s power structure. Such conditions may lead to a decline in public trust and intensify domestic political rifts.
For public opinion, this situation is perceived as a form of political humiliation: a country with a population of more than 300 million appears to be making decisions that seem aligned with the interests of a smaller and allegedly artificial regime.
Global Consequences: From Declining Credibility to the Necessity of Indigenous Security
Recent developments carry broad international consequences. First, U.S. credibility as an independent power and neutral mediator has been significantly weakened. Alignment with the actions of the Zionist regime—particularly at a time when it faces widespread human-rights allegations—has imposed heavy political costs on Washington.
Second, regional countries may conclude that they cannot rely on the United States as a guarantor of security. Past experiences have shown that their interests may be sacrificed for broader strategic objectives.
Third, this trend has strengthened independent regional approaches, particularly by Iran. Emphasis on indigenous security, strategic management of the Strait of Hormuz, and countering destabilization efforts form part of this approach.
Ultimately, the continuation of this trend could contribute to shifts in the global order, moving toward a multipolar structure in which the role of the United States as the dominant power becomes increasingly weakened.
