Fetterman praises Israel for putting Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah ‘on the ropes’

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., on Sunday said that he will continue to “support and follow” Israel after seeing how the Jewish State has been able to humiliate Iran and its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah.

Fetterman made the remarks on “Fox News Sunday,” telling anchor Shannon Bream that Israel knows best about how to take on Iran and the regime’s proxies.

And I am going to support what they continue to do.”
