Prime Minister Netanyahu met today (Wednesday) with Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman, who has stood out for his staunchly pro-Israel stance since the war began.

Netanyahu told him that "We've been through dark times in these months of anguish war. During that time, I can say that Israel has had no better friend than Senator John Fetterman. Senator, welcome to Israel."

Fetterman responded that "We stand with Israel through this. I'm so sorry for what's been done to this nation but I'm just honored to be here today."
