Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) reportedly told a reporter from the anti-Israel outlet Dropsite that he loves the elimination of Hamas leaders, according to Abu Ali Express. The comment followed his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier Thursday, during which he expressed strong support for Israel.
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) continued his vocal support for Israel on Thursday, telling a reporter from the anti-Israel outlet Dropsite that he 'loves' the elimination of Hamas leaders. The comment, reported by Abu Ali Express, came hours after Fetterman's meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which he called himself 'the conscience of the Democratic Party' on Israel and emphasized the need to destroy Hamas and Hezbollah, as The Zioneer reported earlier.
Fetterman's statement appears to be a direct response to a reporter's question, with the senator reportedly giving a firm reply. The exchange highlights Fetterman's growing role as a prominent pro-Israel voice within the Democratic Party, a stance that distinguishes him from many of his colleagues. In previous statements, Fetterman has warned against rising anti-Israel sentiment in his party and said he would leave if it adopted an anti-Israel platform, as The Zioneer has reported.
The incident also drew attention to Dropsite, a news outlet described in the report as anti-Israel and pro-Hamas. Fetterman's blunt language aligns with his consistent pattern of unapologetic support for Israeli military operations against terror groups.
