JD Vance is distancing himself from Trump's full-throated backing of Netanyahu, a split that's rattling Fox News hosts and may be an early move toward his own future presidential run.

• Trump gave Netanyahu an enthusiastic endorsement right before Israel's election, but Vance publicly said he won't take sides.
• Fox and Friends hosts reacted with surprise and mild criticism, framing Vance's choice as risky and out of step with Trump.
• Critics note Vance has also campaigned for Hungary's Viktor Orban, who lost his election, making the "staying out of other countries' politics" line look inconsistent.
• The split hints at daylight opening up between Trump and Vance on foreign policy, even as Vance is widely seen as positioning for a future White House bid.

Outlook: Expect continued scrutiny of Vance's foreign policy stances as he builds a profile separate from Trump's ahead of any future presidential run.
