Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, appeared on Jesse Watters' show where he addressed comments made by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez concerning Israel during the Munich Security Conference. Fetterman described her views as 'troubling' and criticized her for being 'anti-Israel,' expressing particular disapproval of her accusation of genocide towards Israel while in Germany. He emphasized that such statements reflected a significant lack of awareness about the historical context of the region.

Fetterman also referenced past incidents where Ocasio-Cortez had come under scrutiny for her comments, suggesting that her remarks in Munich were another instance of her making statements that lacked proper understanding of the issue. He did not elaborate on specific details of her comments at the conference but indicated that her position was misguided and detracted from the complexity surrounding Israel and Palestine.

The ongoing tensions surrounding Israeli-Palestinian relations have become a divisive issue within U.S. politics, especially among Democrats. Fetterman's comments underline a rift in the party, highlighting how differing views on Israel could affect intra-party dynamics, with some members advocating for strong support of Israel and others pushing for a more critical stance towards its policies. This debate is particularly significant as the U.S. approaches election cycles and grapples with international relations.
