Sen. John Fetterman blasted Vice President Kamala Harris over her stance on Israel's war in Gaza, blaming Hamas for all civilian casualties.
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., lashed out at Vice President Kamala Harris for suggesting that the U.S. could impose 'consequences' on Israel if the country moves forward with an invasion of Rafah. Fetterman made the statement on X in reaction to an interview Harris gave with ABC News on Sunday. She stated that it would be a 'huge mistake' for Israel to carry out an offensive without U.S. approval. 'Hard disagree,' Fetterman wrote in response.
Fetterman has emerged as one of Israel's staunchest allies in the Senate in the wake of the Oct. 7 massacre. Meanwhile, relations between President Biden's administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government continue to fray. Netanyahu has vowed that an invasion of Rafah is imminent, with or without U.S. approval. Harris explicitly left the possibility of consequences for Israel on the table in her Sunday interview. She cited the dense civilian population around Rafah and argued they have nowhere else to go.
Rafah now serves as shelter for roughly 1 million Palestinians displaced by the Gaza war, however. The Biden administration has insisted that any plan for an invasion must include clear and robust protections for civilians, and they have yet to be satisfied with Israel's precautions. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
