Fetterman has been the most outspoken Democratic advocate for Israel in the Senate, a position that’s angered some progressives in his party.
U.S. Sen. John Fetterman called President Joe Biden’s threat to withhold military aid to Israel “deeply disappointing,” the latest criticism he has levied at the president over his handling of the war in Gaza.Fetterman, a Democratic senator from Pennsylvania, reposted the news on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Hard disagree and deeply disappointing,” the senator said.
It comes a day after Fetterman went on Fox News and more softly criticized the Biden administration’s caution toward supplying arms should there be an invasion.“He’s been very supportive of Israel, but I don’t agree with him on everything. For example ... I don’t think we should be withholding any munitions and I think we should be sending them immediately,” Fetterman said. “Israel is in this kind of war; I have no conditions, I never have, and I can’t imagine I ever will.
Fetterman has built a reputation for telling it as he sees it but criticism of a vulnerable president up for reelection by one of his party’s own senators in a swing state is unusual.In Biden’s interview on Wednesday, he acknowledged that some American weapons were used to kill civilians in Gaza and said that he wouldto Israel if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a major invasion of the city of Rafah, Hamas’ last major stronghold in Gaza.
