Fetterman lone Democratic holdout on measure over West Bank killings

Original: Every Democratic senator except Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman voted on Tuesday for a measure seeking to hold accountable

All Democratic senators except Pennsylvania's John Fetterman voted Tuesday for a measure seeking to hold accountable Israeli soldiers and settlers who have killed U.S. citizens in the West Bank. Fetterman, known for his hard pro-Israel stance, was the only member of his party to oppose the effort, drawing criticism from pro-Palestinian activists and renewed attention to divisions among Democrats over U.S. policy toward Israel.

Why now: The vote highlights Democratic divisions over Israel policy and Fetterman's isolation within his own party.
