A video from Thursday's meeting between Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shows the senator expressing strong support for Israel and criticizing his own Democratic Party, according to the video. The video adds to a series of statements Fetterman has made this week distancing himself from anti-Israel elements in his party.
A video released Thursday afternoon captures Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) in his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing strong support for Israel and criticizing his own Democratic Party. The video, which surfaced hours after the meeting, shows Fetterman telling Netanyahu that he supports Israel and criticizes the party's direction, as reported earlier Thursday by The Zioneer.
This follows a series of statements Fetterman has made this week, including telling Netanyahu that he sees himself as 'the conscience of the Democratic Party' on Israel. The video adds visual confirmation to the account of the meeting. The meeting itself was widely covered, with Fetterman reportedly rebuffing harassment from a reporter after the meeting.
The video's release underscores Fetterman's ongoing effort to position himself as a staunch pro-Israel voice within the Democratic Party, even as the party's left wing grows increasingly critical of Israel.
