US Senator Fetterman struggles to defend support for Israel as progressives win big
US Senator Fetterman struggles to defend support for Israel as progressives win big MEE staff on Thu, 08/06/2026 - 17:17 In what was at times a bizarre exchange with TV host Jon Stewart, Fetterman pivoted to exaggerated or unrelated talking points Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman, right, speaks to television host and podcaster Jon Stewart on The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart, on 4 August 2026 (Screengrab) Off The staunchly pro-Israel Democratic Senator John Fetterman has told television host and podcaster Jon Stewart that he would rather lose support in his own party than turn his back on Israel for any reason. The comments are striking because they come at a time when progressive Democrats who are vocal on Palestinian rights are making substantial election gains around the country. On Wednesday, in the key battleground state of Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed beat out a pro-Israel candidate funded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, moving one step closer to becoming the first Muslim senator in US history. Even Rahm Emanuel, a former advisor to Barack Obama whose father was part of the Irgun militia that ransacked Palestinian homes and killed their residents in 1948, has acknowledged the Democratic Party needs to move away from unconditional support for Israel. "There are a lot of stories of how I've become increasingly more unpopular with Democrats in my state. And I'm aware of it. But these were all very specific choices," Fetterman told Stewart in an interview recorded on Tuesday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); "I would rather have people know what I happen to believe... My proud standing with Israel through everything after 10/7 has put me at odds more than anything," he added, referencing the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, which prompted the nearly three-year-long assault by Israel on Gaza that holocaust experts and the United Nations have labelled a genocide. While many older, centrist Democrats can feel the same, Fetterman has always been an outlier in the party. He has represented the battleground state of Pennsylvania in the Senate since January 2023 and largely votes alongside Democrats, except when it comes to issues related to Israel. Democratic hopeful Rahm Emanuel calls for end to unconditional US aid to Israel Read More » The 56-year-old has voiced his disdain for the widespread college campus protests in 2024 that called for an end to Israel's genocide in Gaza, supported President Donald Trump's war on Iran, and has been entirely immovable on unconditional foreign aid to Israel, which he calls a "special ally". "So for you, you could agree with [Democrats] 90 percent, but Israel is the red line," Stewart told Fetterman. "Absolutely. Israel, for me, like I can't ever turn my back to Israel after where it's at," Fetterman said. "I mean no disrespect on this, but that is not our country," Stewart pushed back. Fetterman responded by referencing growing antisemitism in America. "The Jewish community and Israel are not the same thing, brother man. They're not - that is not the same thing," replied Stewart, who is Jewish, while Fetterman is not. "If I have to pick a side for after 10/7 and after Iran, I'm always going to stand with Israel," the senator said. "I'm always going to vote and support whatever that's necessary to protect themselves and to prosecute Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran too." "If anyone in the Democrat Party is fine with Iran building a nuclear bomb, I disagree with that person," he added. "I think you're caricaturing the issue," Stewart said. "Is there anything you would criticise Israel about?" (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); "No." Talking points Stewart tried to elicit empathy from Fetterman on the more than 22,000 children that have been killed by Israel in Gaza. "It's awful," the senator acknowledged. "Would you say everything Israel is doing is for their own self-defence?" Stewart asked. "Destroying its enemies, yeah," Fetterman replied (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); "Flattening a tiny area and pushing two million people into 30 to 35 to 40 percent of that territory, and having a siege of that area. Is that in their self-defence?" After Michigan upset, Aipac looks to back Republican candidate against Abdul El-Sayed Read More » "People forget that Hamas were just rapists and they were terrorising and killing civilians," Fetterman said. To date, there has been no first-person or direct eyewitness evidence documented by international organisations that rape was committed during the dawn attack on 7 October 2023. When asked if what is happening in Gaza is a genocide, Fetterman said that "by definition", only the Jewish community has "experienced a true, true genocide". "If Israel's goal was to eliminate as many Palestinians as possible, they could have accomplished that a long time ago," the senator declared. "Just because you're killing a group slowly doesn't mean you're not killing a group," Stewart countered. Fetterman explained that the term "Zionist" is now being used as a "slur" among some people in the Democratic Party, and that he himself has been hounded by protesters calling him a "Zio". He then asked why university students were not protesting against the Iranian government for its killing of protesters during a mass uprising earlier this year. "That's because we don't consider Iran an ally. We don't give money to Iran. We don't give billions of dollars a year to Iran. We sanction them," Stewart said. Fetterman pivoted to how much Israel has actually been helping Gaza. "Actually, Hamas has been stealing all of the aid," he said. The former head of the World Food Programme, an American citizen and a Republican, acknowledged last year that there was no evidence that Hamas members were attacking or stealing from the limited aid trucks entering the enclave. Confusion The interview took a bizarre turn at times, when Fetterman seemed to be trying to recall, unsuccessfully, talking points or even structure his answer. He would veer into another topic entirely, almost like he didn't understand the question, rather than trying to evade it. In his final year as lieutenant governor in Pennsylvania - some three months before he beat television personality Mehmet Oz to win the Senate seat in November 2022 - Fetterman suffered a stroke. As he recovered and made public appearances, he seemed incapable of articulating himself in interviews, or indeed in the candidates' debate he had with Oz. Fetterman still ended up winning with 51 percent of the vote. He was sworn into office at the US Capitol in January 2023, and a month later, revealed he had been suffering from depression, leading him to be hospitalised for two months. The announcement was lauded by his colleagues as a brave admission on how men in particular should handle their mental health. During the 75-minute interview with Stewart, about half the time was spent discussing the unpopular state of the Democratic Party establishment, the rising Democratic Socialists who have galvanised voters, and the economic status quo that has turned Americans away from centrist politicians. From Michigan to Missouri: Democratic primaries deliver mixed bag on Israel and Gaza Read More » "Don't you think this new sort of energy and economic populism is a response to that?" Stewart asked. "Well, what is that? Is that socialism... communism?" Fetterman responded, arguing that Democrats with socialist policy platforms cannot defeat Republicans in swing states, which can go either way at elections. "That sounds like a caricature," Stewart fired back. "El-Sayed.. wants to ban corporate money. Wants higher taxes on billionaires for housing and education, Medicare for all. You know, when you say that's communism, that feels like a caricature." "No, no, I never said that," Fetterman said. "I call real communists that are cheering for communism, people like Hassan Piker, for example. You know, he's a big, big influence." "I don't think it's a communist. I think he said he's socialist," Stewart said of the political influencer and Twitch streamer who has backed Sayed and joined him at rallies. "But the point being... capitalism, as it is being practised in America, is increasing inequality and leaving too many people behind," Stewart explained. "I return it back to this idea that AI is transforming the world, whether you like it or not," Fetterman replied, in one of the stranger moments in the discussion. "The second we hinder our own ability to develop these kinds of tools, the Chinese will seize the lead," he continued. When Stewart tried to get him back on track, Fetterman said that while he agrees that money should be taken out of politics in the US - as Sayed and others have campaigned - Piker remains "pro-Hamas", and so Fetterman cannot support the candidates that Piker endorses. "I feel like you're caricaturing people's views if they're critical of Israel. If someone says, 'I think Hamas and Israel are both criminal'... how is that pro-Hamas?" Stewart asked. "What I would say is... our party is starting to elect people that are going to struggle to win in the kinds of places that are going to define who's going to win in [20]28," Fetterman said. "When we live in a very divided country right now, I think the responsibility is to police your own ranks."

Hamas calls on US, mediators to stop Israel ‘sabotaging’ Gaza agreement
Hamas calls on US, mediators to stop Israel ‘sabotaging’ Gaza agreement Hamas has welcomed the joint statement from several Arab countries following a meeting of foreign ministers in Amman which condemned Israel’s escalation in Gaza, saying it “underscores the gravity of the escalation and violations perpetrated by the occupying government, which threaten the future of the entire agreement”. Hamas called on the signatories, as well as the US and ceasefire mediators to prevent Israel “from sabotaging the agreement through continued killing, aggression and reneging on the obligations imposed by the ceasefire agreement”. This comes after Hamas agreed in July to a document setting out a plan for their disarmament in Gaza, in return for the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces.

Hearing set to decide 'terror sentencing' of activists who targeted Barclays
Hearing set to decide 'terror sentencing' of activists who targeted Barclays MEE staff on Thu, 08/06/2026 - 14:28 Judge Altham, who previously issued 'manifestly excessive' sentences to anti-fracking activists, is set to determine whether the offences carry a 'terrorist connection' The defendants allegedly spray painted and splintered windows at a Barclays bank branch in Burnley over its shares in Elbit Systems in August 2024 (Supplied) Off A judge has ordered a hearing in which he will decide whether five Palestine Action defendants convicted of criminal damage will be sentenced as terrorists. The five defendants - Brendon O’Hagan, 28, Amanda Kelly, 31, Hmeera Atiqnisar, 31, Mohammed Malik, 28, and Alma Yaniv, 70 - were found guilty in June 2026 of causing £212,000 ($283,000) worth of damage to a Barclays branch in Burnley in August 2024. Following their convictions, presiding Judge Phillip Parry told defence lawyers that he would consider applying a “terrorist connection”, despite jurors not being told about a potential terror sentencing in the case. He then referred the matter to Judge Robert Altham who will decide whether to apply the terror designation at a hearing on 21 August, two weeks ahead of their sentencing on 4 September. In 2018, the court of appeal found that Judge Altham had issued "manifestly excessive" prison sentences to anti-fracking activists for causing public nuisance outside a site near Blackpool. The court ruled that the sentences were inappropriate and that the activists should be freed immediately. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); After the Barclays trial concluded, Judge Parry circulated a ruling made by Justice Johnson, the presiding judge in a recent Palestine Action case in which four activists convicted of criminal damage at an Elbit Systems site in Filton, near Bristol, were sentenced as terrorists despite being convicted of criminal charges. Gross overreach The CPS subsequently argued that the defendants should receive a terror sentencing, despite not mentioning the possibility during the trial. ‘We just disappeared’: Palestine Action defendant recalls ‘horrifying’ arrest Read More » The Barclays action took place prior to the proscription of Palestine Action and is not listed among the three incidents connected to the group which the government classified as terrorism, each allegedly involving over £1m ($1.35m) in damage. Simon Roscoe Blevins, an anti-fracking activist who was handed a 16-month custodial sentence by Altham in 2018, said: "Surely this move to add a terror connection to the sentencing of another direct action case, after no mention before or during trial, is another gross overreach and one he in particular cannot be trusted with?" Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori said that it was "shocking" that Altham is deciding whether the terrorist designation will be applied. She added that both in the Filton case and the Barclays case "the jury were under the impression that they were simply deciding whether criminal damage was caused. They were completely unaware that a conviction of criminal damage, would essentially be convicting the defendants of terrorism".
