US Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa), who has emerged as one of the strongest supporters of Israel in the Democratic Party, expressed his support for Israel's continued military operation against Hamas today (Monday). "Hamas’ leadership has the choice to free the hostages or face swift elimination," Sen. Fetterman wrote on X in response to a Wall Street Journal story on the elimination of Hamas leaders over the last week. "The Palestinian tragedy was designed and maintained exclusively by Hamas. This war is Hamas’ choice and my full support follows Israel," he said.
