Senator John Fetterman (D., Pa.) And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mentioned gifts on Wednesday evening during the second Senator’s visit to Israel. One was inspired by exploding pagers in Lebanon, and the other was a photo from Philadelphia.
Netanyahu gave Fetterman a silver pager inspired by Israel’s September attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon, which exploded pagers used by members of the insurgent group. The operation killed at least 12 people, including two youthful children, and hurt thousands, according to the Associated Press. He played a similar attack the next day, exploding her marks.
“This is a silver sound signal,” said Netanyahu Fetterman. “A real sound signal is like a tenth weight, it’s nothing, but it changes history.”
Fetterman said that when the story of the pagers broke, “he said,” Oh, I love it. “
Fetterman was given by Netanyahu as part of an article in a 1986 newspaper with a photo of the prime minister about dedication memorial For his brother Jonathan Netanyahu in Philadelphia. Netanyahu’s office said that the prime minister was “moved” by donation.
Democrat Pennsylvania and his wife Giselle Fetterman met with both Prime Minister and his wife Sara Netanyahu. Fetterman wore a black Carhartt hooded sweatshirt during a meeting with the appropriate prime minister. Two couples sat at a table with a floral system, an American flag and Israeli flag.
Fetterman, a fierce supporter of Israel and his war in Gaza, visited the country for the first time in June last year. He wore a band to the Nova Music Festival, given to him by the Hamas attack victim of October 7 to Israel during this visit, and Netanyahu called him “Israel’s best friend.”
Fetterman, who is not a Jew, was criticized by progressors for his die -hard support and adopted by Israel’s supporters as an appreciated ally.
