Fetterman says he’ll leave Democratic Party if it becomes ‘anti-Israel party’

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) stated on Wednesday that he would leave the Democratic Party if it officially became an "anti-Israel party." Speaking at the Hill Nation Summit in Washington, Fetterman expressed his concern that the party is increasingly turning its back on Israel, which he considers a matter of "moral clarity." He noted a recent instance where a House Democrat went against party leadership to support a measure ending defensive funding aid to Israel, and criticized the rise of progressive and socialist candidates with anti-Israel views winning Democratic primaries. Fetterman warned against these "worst impulses" that he believes could harm the party's electoral prospects.
