Fetterman Sole Dem Against Investigating His Constituent’s Killer
Despite support from other Democrats, the Senate voted 51-47 against a resolution to force U.S. probes on killings of Americans in the West Bank. The post Fetterman Sole Dem Against Investigating His Constituent’s Killer appeared first on The Intercept .
Only one Democratic senator, Pennsylvania's John Fetterman, opposed a measure aimed at holding accountable Israeli soldiers and settlers responsible for killing U.S. citizens in the West Bank. Fetterman, who has a recent Palestinian American constituent among the victims, was the sole dissenter in his party despite the bill's support from nearly every other Democratic senator.
The measure, which failed to pass with a 51-47 Senate vote, sought to require the State Department to report on investigations into the killings of nine U.S. citizens by Israeli forces or settlers since 2022.
