On March 27, according to AXIOS, U.S. Vice President Vance is preparing to take on the most significant task of his career: leading the U.S. efforts aimed at ending the war, having expressed reservations about the initiation of the conflict from the outset. Vance has had multiple conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and has participated in indirect communications with the Iranians. He is expected to become the chief negotiator for the U.S. in potential peace talks. According to sources from the U.S. and Israel, Vance is deeply skeptical of Israel's optimistic pre-war assessments regarding the conflict's trajectory, with expectations that the war will continue for several more weeks. Vance's advisors believe that there are individuals within Israel attempting to sideline the Vice President, possibly due to perceptions that he is not tough enough. Israeli officials have denied this. White House officials stated that Vance's qualifications within the government and his consistent opposition to endless overseas conflicts make him a more acceptable dialogue partner for the Iranians compared to Witkoff and Kushner, who were responsible for the previous two rounds of unsuccessful negotiations.
