I am not what you would call a hawk. But I understand what defense of the country means and our greatest ally means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Referencing another remark by Vance that he is a \u201cmoderate\u201d on Israel, Jones added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Part of the comments that concern me wasn\u2019t even so much of that one, it\u2019s that he said that he found himself to be a moderate on the issue with Israel. That\u2019s not what the president stands for. The president made it very clear, with that it\u2019s our closest ally, and that we will work with them. Now, there are some times where the president says he needs to call Bibi off a little bit, that he wants to go a little further than the president is comfortable with, because he\u2019s balancing what\u2019s happening in the Arab world and what\u2019s happening, you know, with Israel as well.<\/p>\n<p>But to say that there are people that are on air trying to pressure the administration some way in advancement of Israel and not our own country\u2019s interest, that is categorically false. I don\u2019t know that report that\u2019s going around, but that\u2019s not what the president stands for. So that was disappointing. He\u2019s always welcome on our program to talk about it, but being moderate when it comes to Israel, that is not the Republican position.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Co-host <strong>Brian Kilmeade<\/strong> then chimed in: \u201cIran calls us their main enemy. They have our president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/tv\/iran-unveils-giant-mural-of-trump-inside-coffin-in-brazen-threat-that-is-unbelievable\/\">in a coffin<\/a> and <strong>Lindsey Graham<\/strong> with a target.
