Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman has backed President Trump’s idea to send US troops to Gaza to spearhead rebuilding efforts in the shattered Palestinian enclave.
“The Palestinians have refused, or they’ve been unwilling, to deliver a government that provided security and economic development for themselves,” Fetterman, one of the most pro-Israel voices in the Democratic Party, told Jewish Insider after Trump stunned the world with his proposal during a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu Tuesday night.
“They allowed 10/7 to occur, and now Gaza has to be rebuilt. Where are the people going to live? Where are they going to go? So it’s part of a conversation with where they’re at right now,” Fetterman went on.
