Democratic Senator John Fetterman, a staunch advocate for Israel, has publicly commended former President Donald Trump for the historic peace plan between Israel and Hamas, which he said reflects an ‘ironclad commitment to Israel and its people.’ Fetterman, representing Pennsylvania, shared his praise on X after Trump announced the agreement in a Truth Social post, stating that both sides had agreed to the first phase of the peace deal. The senator emphasized their shared dedication to Israel despite their differing political affiliations, highlighting the potential for enduring peace in the region.
Trump’s announcement, which was posted on Truth Social, detailed the agreement’s key provisions, including the release of all hostages and Israel’s withdrawal of troops to an agreed-upon line. The plan marks the first phase of what Trump described as a ‘Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace.’ The mediator effort involved Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, which Trump acknowledged in a post, stating that their collaboration was crucial to the deal’s success. This agreement has been hailed as a significant breakthrough in the ongoing conflict, which began with the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023.
