Vice presidential candidates Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) expressed support for Israel but criticized the other side for the tension permeating throughout the Middle East.

Tuesday’s vice presidential debate came just hours after Iran carried out a significant aerial attack on Israel, firing about 200 ballistic missiles from Iranian soil toward Israel. Israel’s air defenses were able to intercept most of the missiles with the help of the U.S. military, and Israel’s leaders have vowed to retaliate.
