Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during their meeting Thursday that he is proud to stand with Israel through everything, even as many in his own party move in the opposite direction, according to a report.
The declaration adds to footage from the same meeting, reported earlier Thursday by The Zioneer, which showed Fetterman expressing support for Israel and criticizing the Democratic Party's direction. Fetterman has emerged as one of the most outspoken pro-Israel voices in the Democratic caucus, having previously stated that he would leave the party if it formally adopts an anti-Israel platform, as The Zioneer reported on July 16.
The senator's remarks underscore the deepening divide within the Democratic Party over Israel, as a growing faction of progressive and anti-Israel candidates gains influence in primaries.
