Fetterman: ‘Israel Shouldn’t Face Isolation’ Dealing with Hamas

i24 News – “Hard disagree,” said Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania John Fetterman, reacting to the United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken comment on Israel’s potential isolation if the military advances with the Rafah operation plan.

“Israel shouldn’t face isolation when Hamas terrorists are still present and hiding behind civilians,” read Fetterman’s post on X (formerly Twitter).

Hard disagree.

Israel shouldn’t face isolation when Hamas terrorists are still present and hiding behind civilians.

He added that “Hamas owns this humanitarian catastrophe and must surrender, release the hostages NOW, or be eliminated.”

Senator Fetterman, labeled as a “political anomaly,” emerged as a political warrior for the Jewish state, but has shown probably the most visible support for Israel since the October 7 attack. In November, he displayed posters of Hamas’ hostages in front of his office.

Blinken, who paid Israel his sixth wartime visit earlier on Friday told the press: “A major military ground operation in Rafah is not the way to do it [to defeat Hamas]. It risks killing more civilians. It risks wreaking greater havoc with the provision of humanitarian assistance. It risks further isolating Israel around the world and jeopardizing its long term security and standing.”
