Democrat Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has publicly congratulated President Donald Trump on securing a historic peace plan between Israel and Hamas.
The senator made the remarks after the president announced the first phase of the peace deal on Wednesday.
Fetterman is one of the few members of his party who has consistently backed Israel.
In a post on X, Fetterman wrote:
“I congratulate @POTUS on this historic peace plan that releases all the hostages.
“Now, enduring peace in the region is possible.
“Our parties are different, but we have a shared ironclad commitment to Israel and its people.”
