Self-described 'unapologetic supporter of Israel' John Fetterman weighs in as Trump seeks to broker peace deal

"Good morning to everyone except all the protesters who aren't protesting for Hamas to accept the peace deal," the senator declared in a Sunday post on X.

In a post on Friday, Fetterman shared a screenshot of a Mediaite headline that read, "CNN's Dana Bash Wonders Why Pro-Palestine Movement Isn't Pressuring Hamas to Accept Trump Deal" - in his post, the senator commented, "For those protesters: Hamas > Peace," adding, "No flotilla, blocking a highway or disrupting public events demanding Hamas to take the peace deal."

"Hamas must choose peace or its own destruction. Send the hostages home, now. As an unapologetic supporter of Israel, the Gaza War must end to have peace and security for Israel and Palestinians. Politics aside, credit to @POTUS' peace plan to get to this encouraging point," Fetterman noted in a Friday post on X, sharing a screenshot of a Reuters headline that said, "Hamas says it agrees to release all Israeli hostages under Trump Gaza plan."

Trump indicated in a Sunday evening Truth Social post, "There have been very positive discussions with Hamas, and Countries from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) this weekend, to release the Hostages, end the War in Gaza but, more importantly, finally have long sought PEACE in the Middle East."  

Later in the post, he warned, "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OR, MASSIVE BLOODSHED WILL FOLLOW - SOMETHING THAT NOBODY WANTS TO SEE!"

Sharing a screenshot of a headline from The Hill that read, "Pair of Senate Democrats charge Israel with 'ethnic cleansing' of Palestinians," Fetterman firmly pushed back.

"I reject this in the strongest terms. My party's ongoing and escalating betrayal of Israel is gross and outrageous," he asserted.
