Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., criticized Vice President JD Vance at a White House press briefing Thursday for his remarks about Israel.

"I thought JD's comments yesterday were absolutely inappropriate and frankly disgusting," Fine said Friday on "Real America's Voice."

Vance criticized Israeli critics of the Iran deal, saying President Donald Trump is Israel's only true ally and pointing to billions of dollars in U.S. military assistance.

Critics in both the United States and Israel say the agreement fails to curb Iran's missile program and does not provide a clear path to dismantling its nuclear program.

The accord has also drawn criticism in Israel for limiting its military operations against Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon.

Vance said Trump was "the only head of state in the entire world" sympathetic to Israel at this moment and warned Israeli officials against attacking their closest partner.

"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," Vance said.

He also said two-thirds of Israel's defensive weapons systems were built by American industry and funded by U.S. taxpayers, noting roughly $4 billion in annual U.S. military aid.

"What the president has grown frustrated, sometimes, is that we seem to be right on the cusp of a major breakthrough in the agreement, and then all of a sudden there's a major explosion that goes off in a civilian population center in Beirut, and a lot of people who have nothing to do with Hezbollah lose their lives," Vance said.

"That's not acceptable," he added.

Fine, who is Jewish and a staunch supporter of Israel, said Vance "would be wise to go back and learn his history."

"The state of Israel was not created by the United States," Fine said. "It is not funded by the United States, except in some small way."

"It was created in the blood and sweat and tears of the Jewish people rising out of the Holocaust," Fine added.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose wife, Callista, serves as U.S. ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, was also critical of Vance's comments.

"Why is Israel getting blamed for trying to protect its citizens from Hezbollah attacks?" Gingrich wrote on X. "Iran funds and arms Hezbollah, encourages them to kill Israelis in Israel and then blames Israel for defending its own citizens."

"We should be focusing our anger on the Iranian dictatorship not on a democracy fighting to protect its citizens," Gingrich added.
