Fetterman blocks Israel accountability vote

John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote against a Senate resolution demanding the State Department report to Congress on Israel's killings and human rights abuses in the West Bank. Rand Paul was the lone Republican who voted yes. The resolution failed 47-53. Fetterman represents Pennsylvania constituents. One of them, Nasrallah Abu Siyam, was killed by Israeli forces in February.

BREAKING: John Fetterman is the lone Democratic senator to vote AGAINST Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s resolution to require the Department of State to report to Congress on Israel’s humanitarian abuses and killings of Americans in the West Bank. Sen. Rand Paul is the only Republican who joined Democrats in voting Yes. The motion thus failed 47-53, but this is a seismic shift in the Senate regarding U.S.-Israel relations.
