Sen. Fetterman open to US OCCUPYING Gaza, calls it 'provocative'

Senator John Fetterman said he's open to Donald Trump's proposal that the US occupy Gaza. He told Tara Palmeri of Trump's plan for Israel: "It is provocative, but I don't think that that's really in an actual serious kind of a way. And I think, I mean, I can't speak exact, you know, what he meant. But what I think it was more to kind of shake things up and to get like to start like a very more honest conversation of Gaza. And now 90 percent of the housing is has been destroyed or severely damaged. And where are you going to live? What are folks going to do? There's no utilities, there's no water, there's no kinds of structures to protect them from the weather. So where are they going to go? Where are they going to live? How are they going to do that in a hygienic kind of a way? And how are you going to rebuild it, especially when Hamas is still allowed to function too? And where's the money going to come from? And who's going to be doing all the building and do all that work?"

He said: I mean, that's a gigantic, that's a gigantic kinds of undertaking and now no one's been honest about it. So from right now, it's like that's starting to have that conversation. And that's what I've always been maintaining. All of the experts on the Middle East throughout all this were wrong. And for me, my top priority in that region is destroying Iran's nuclear facilities. And we have a unique opportunity to do that knowing that now that Hamas is severely damaged and so it severely diminished. Iran, it's actually been shown that Iran doesn't have the capabilities to really project those kinds of damage and they're not as fearsome as people thought that they were. yeah, I think you're never gonna have until you finally finish out their nuclear facilities. So that's part of an honest conversation."

Do you think the US should occupy Gaza?

[jacobsingerisdead]

This guy’s nothing but a fluffer for Netanyahu. Embarassing for PA and the US. Lock him up.

[russellsommers]

“Provocative”? That’s Fetterman’s take on Trump’s certifiably INSANE riff about owning Gaza? The respect I was just starting to have for Fetterman has evaporated as he normalizes and therefore Enables Trump . (Funny how he managed to wear a suit for his” kiss the ring” Mar-a-Lago visit.) Any bets on how long it will be before he pulls a Tulsi Gabbard and flips Republican?

[stevesellati]

The US and Israel should rebuild Gaza for the Palestinians. And it should be its own state without any occupation from a foreign government.

[Fisonim]

He’s clueless. Talking in vague general terms. There is a solution, it’s called the Two State solution. What to bet he jumps to the GOP soon because this Carhart wearing, everyman schtick is wearing thin

[noirsake]

"I don't believe that... " Are you kidding me. They 100% are going to try and put up a Trump hotels on that waterfront.

[popsemeraldcity]

Wtf has happened to John? We need tough pushback on all trump's illlegal actions, no soft pedaling under the guise of working together

[jacobsingerisdead]

You’re not a journalist, you’re a softball pitcher lol

[danbrodkey]

Wow, I guess strokes really do degrade reasoning skills.

[malekkarim]

Im suprised aipac not telling him support relocation of people

[YouSnoozeYouNooze]

I can't fathom why the Senator doesn't think trump will try to get in on the Gaza waterfront. I think it's great trump got a ceasefire but he's been putting up international hotels 10x longer than he's been President

[andirv]

I wish the Democrat party had more people like Fetterman and less people like the squad.
