Senator John Fetterman criticized democrats who refuse to give President Trump credit for brokering a peace deal in Gaza"This is a huge development, and this terrible, awful war is going to come to an end. And now you can rebuild Gaza, and these families are now reunited. That’s a big thing, and it’s a strange time if you can’t celebrate this."The Pennsylvania democrat was one of the first to publicly praise Trump for making the deal Fetterman expressed "absolute elation" over the release of the hostages but said he was shocked and frustrated that Democrats are not acknowledging President Trump in the achievement,"How can’t we all celebrate this thing? I mean, you’ve had human beings held underground for over two years, and tortured and beaten and starved, forced to dig their own graves and things."Christina Aguayo News "Now they can finally come back home. And now everyone, everyone should be celebrating these things. And, clearly, the Palestinians are, and people in Israel are too.""And now there are people in our nation, some of those aren’t really celebrating or even acknowledging the thing [President Trump brokered], and that’s part of the truth there too.""It really was never about peace, it was more about an anti-Israel agenda.""This is a huge development, and this terrible, awful war is going to come to an end. And now you can rebuild Gaza, and these families are now reunited. That’s a big thing, and it’s a strange time if you can’t celebrate this."While Fetterman broke ranks, other Democrats offered measured praise for the outcome without crediting Trump—often avoiding his name altogether🔸️Barack Obama - "We should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight" He did not mention Trump🔸️Sen.
