Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) indicated he might support President Donald Trump's proposal for the U.S. to take control of Gaza after the recent Israel-Hamas war. Trump suggested resettling displaced Palestinians and rebuilding the area for economic development. Fetterman acknowledged the controversial nature of the plan but suggested it was part of the current conversation regarding Gaza's future.
WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 12: U.S. Sen. John Fetterman speaks to reporters before a Senate luncheon at the U.S. Capitol on December 12, 2023 in Washington, D.C.
Trump in a Tuesday news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu floated the idea, with displaced Palestinian people being resettled elsewhere under the proposal. The plan, Trump said, would involve reshaping the area to allow for prosperity following the Israel-Hamas war. “It’s a provocative part of the conversation, but it’s part of the conversation, and that’s where we are,” Sen. Fetterman said. “The Palestinians have refused, or they’ve been unwilling to deliver a government that provided security and economic development for themselves.”
The senator last week was also the only Democrat to back a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court for issuing arrest warrants for Israeli officials in relation to the Jewish state’s war with Hamas.
