During a recent appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) expressed his disagreement with the Biden administration’s decision to delay arms sales to Israel. Fetterman commended President Biden for his support of Israel but urged that the only conditions should be placed on Hamas and their supporters. He emphasized the need to immediately send munitions to Israel, especially during a time of conflict.
When asked about the U.S.’s support for Israel and the delay in arms sales, Fetterman reiterated his position that any conditions should be imposed on Hamas, not Israel. He emphasized that Hamas bears responsibility for the current situation and for the civilian deaths and chaos in the region.
Fetterman also deferred to Israel’s judgment on their military actions, recognizing their better understanding of the situation on the ground. He underscored the stark difference in priorities between Israel, which seeks to minimize civilian casualties, and Hamas, which uses them as collateral damage.
In conclusion, Fetterman reiterated his support for Israel and his belief that the focus should be on holding Hamas accountable for their actions. He highlighted the need for immediate support to Israel in the ongoing conflict.
