Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, expressed his unwavering support for Israel following recent events involving Iran and its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah. Fetterman emphasized his trust in Israel's ability to handle the situation effectively, citing their superior intelligence and understanding of the circumstances on the ground.
He commended Israel for their successful responses against Hezbollah and Hamas, which he described as leaving the Iranian proxies in a state of fear and defeat. Fetterman highlighted Israel's resilience in the face of missile attacks from Iran, noting their ability to neutralize threats and maintain a position of strength.
Recent tensions escalated when Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel in retaliation for the killings of Hezbollah and Hamas leaders. The ongoing conflict between Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah has raised concerns about the potential for a wider regional war.
President Biden's stance on Israel's right to respond proportionally to Iran's military actions was met with criticism from former President Trump, who expressed concerns about the risks of a nuclear conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned calls for an arms embargo on Israel, arguing that such measures would undermine Israel's efforts to combat terrorism.
Netanyahu called for solidarity from civilized nations in the face of threats posed by Iran and its proxies, emphasizing the need for unified support against terrorism. He criticized Western leaders for considering arms embargoes on Israel while overlooking Iran's support for terrorist groups.
