John Fetterman slams Kamala Harris's warning to Israel

Senator John Fetterman criticised US Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday after she refused to rule out “consequences” for Israel’s invasion of Rafah.

Fetterman posted to X to address his perspective on Israel’s invasion and defended the country's continued attack on Hamas.

“Hard disagree. Israel has the right to prosecute Hamas to surrender or to be eliminated,” Fetterman wrote. “Hamas owns every innocent death for their cowardice hiding behind Palestinian lives.”

Kamala Harris’ comments came during an interview with ABC News on Sunday, where she refused to rule out “consequences” against Israel if they launch their ground assault on Rafah.

Surrender.
Lay down their arms.
Stop firing rockets at Israel.
Release ALL hostages, dead or alive.
Stop making terrorist attacks against Israel.

When these things are done, then the Israeli's can go home. While Hamas still poses a threat to peace in the ME, they need to be eliminated.

and Harris not ruling anything out is just ambiguous language which is political verbiage, and it is smart politics in this critical election year.

John Kirby made it clear nothing has changed:

This is political drama , and of course the illustrious press believes it is something more. It isn’t.

Hostage negotiations are still going on, discussions how to get Palestinian civilians out of harms way are occurring with the U.S.
