Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania known for his strong support of Israel, has expressed his anticipation to vote in favor of confirming Representative Elise Stefanik, a Republican from New York, for the position of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
In a recent social media post, Senator Fetterman criticized the United Nations for what he described as persistent promotion of 'rank, pervasive antisemitism.' This statement came in response to a UN special committee report that accused Israel of engaging in actions resembling genocide during a specific period.
Senator Fetterman firmly rejected the findings of the UN report, emphasizing his unwavering support for Israel. He took to Twitter to express his disagreement with the report and his eagerness to back Representative Stefanik, who has been nominated by President-elect Trump for the UN Ambassador role.
President-elect Trump praised Stefanik's nomination, highlighting her potential to promote peace through strength and prioritize America's national security interests at the United Nations.
Senator Fetterman also commended Trump's selection of Senator Marco Rubio from Florida as a strong choice for the Secretary of State position. Rubio, like Fetterman, is recognized for his staunch support of Israel, a stance that Fetterman reiterated in the aftermath of a recent terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel.
Senator Fetterman reaffirmed his commitment to standing with Israel, emphasizing that his support for the country remains steadfast despite external challenges.
