Senator John Fetterman sided with Senator Lindsey Graham with his criticism of Democrats supporting Palestinian statehood. Fetterman described this stance as a betrayal of Israel and the Jewish community around the world. Both senators hinted that support for Palestinian statehood contributed to emboldened hostilities against the Jews. Graham suggested that the Western nations recognizing a Palestinian state rewards the killing of Jews.<\/p>\n

Appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Fetterman, D-Pa., said he agreed “with virtually everything” Graham, R-S.C., warned about earlier in the program. Graham had raised concerns about empowering Hamas by moving toward Palestinian statehood.<\/p>\n

“It’s an absolute betrayal for Israel and for the worldwide Jewish community,” said Fetterman.<\/p>\n

“Whether it’s France or Australia or any of these nations, our Western allies are now calling for a two-state solution when Hamas refuses to disarm and are actively trying to kill Jews. I can’t imagine why anybody would do that at this point,” he added.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Graham condemned Western nations that recognized a Palestinian state, accusing them of “rewarding killing Jews” with that decision.<\/p>\n

Australia, France, the United Kingdom and Canada formally recognized a Palestinian state earlier this year. In a statement, Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney clarified that their support was not meant to legitimize terrorism in the region but to promote future reconstruction following the devastating Israel-Hamas war.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
