During a recent press briefing, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) delivered a direct message to pro-Palestinian protesters urging for a ceasefire in Gaza, stating, “I don’t understand why… anyone that is protesting or demanding for a ceasefire let’s be honest here, why aren’t you protesting to bring them all home right now?”
Senator Fetterman, who has met with six families impacted by the conflict, emphasized the urgency of ending the suffering and called for Hamas to surrender.
The Pennsylvania Democrat asserted, “That is meaningless until Hamas is effectively eliminated.”
Senator Fetterman also criticized Hamas’s rejection of a two-state solution, stating, “I would never want to negotiate with a group that wants to commit to my death.”
He called for the return of all affected individuals and condemned any attempt to equate the actions of Hamas with those of Israel.
“This is like bring them back,” Senator Fetterman emphasized.
His remarks underscored the need for immediate action to halt the violence and prioritize the safety of civilians.
