Kenny Holston/the New York Times/The Associated PressVice-President JD Vance declined Monday to endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for re-election a day after President Donald Trump endorsed the embattled Israeli leader. “The president has the most influential endorsement in American or international political history,” Vance said during an interview with journalist Mark Halperin. “I endorse American candidates, and that’s where I’m focused on the midterms,” Vance said, while travelling Monday to campaign for Republican Senate nominee Michael Whatley of North Carolina. “So, I’m not getting involved in Israeli elections.”Vance has campaigned for a foreign leader – then-Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, last spring before the right-wing leader’s party lost that country’s parliamentary election. Vance’s deference to Trump on Netanyahu comes at an extraordinarily sensitive time for Jewish Americans and the U. S. alliance with Israel.

The Oregon father hailed as a hero for stopping a school shooting last week spoke for the first time about the incident, describing his experience and how he told a 911 operator: “I have to go in. People are going to die.”Kaylub Giamanco, a 36-year-old carpenter, has received national attention and praise for stopping the bloodshed at Silver Rail elementary in Bend, Oregon, where his children attend school. He fatally shot Griffin J John II, a 16-year-old former student at the school, who broke in and shot six people, killing Megan Lambert, a 25-year-old teacher, and three children, including five-year-old Rhoam Summer. In an interview with Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB), his first since the 15 October shooting, he recounted that day. He told reporters that he was only in the area because he had decided to return home and eat lunch with his wife rather than the meal he brought to work that day. For a moment, Giamanco, who lives near the school, thought it was a prank when he saw a man in black armed with a gun headed toward Silver Rail, he said. Then he saw the man fire the gun and climb over a school fence.
