Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman Commends Trump on ‘Groundbreaking Peace Accords’
Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, a well-known advocate for Israel within the Democratic Party, expressed his congratulations to President Donald Trump on Wednesday, shortly after Trump declared in a Truth Social post that Hamas and Israel had agreed to the initial phase of a new peace strategy.
Fetterman emphasized a shared dedication to Israel’s welfare between himself and the president: “I applaud @POTUS for this groundbreaking peace initiative that ensures the release of all hostages. Now, sustainable peace in the region seems attainable. While our political beliefs may diverge, our commitment to Israel and its people remains steadfast,” he posted on X, accompanied by a screenshot of Trump’s announcement.
The backdrop of this diplomatic progress comes in the wake of the tragic events surrounding the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas, which resulted in horrific acts of violence including murder and abduction. As Trump worked toward this peace deal, he announced on Wednesday, “I am very proud to reveal that both Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This signifies that ALL hostages will be released shortly, with Israel repositioning its troops to a mutually agreed line as the initial steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace.”
Fetterman’s tweet was succinct:
I congratulate @POTUS on this historic peace plan that releases all the hostages.
Now, enduring peace in the region is possible.

One can only ponder: what if every Democrat in Congress adopted the reasonable stance exhibited here by Fetterman?
