Senator Fetterman remains a staunch supporter of Israel, arguing that it is the right side to stand for against the Iranian regime.
The Senate rejected Senator Bernie Sanders' resolutions to block military equipment sales to Israel in a 40-59 vote. Seven Democrats joined Republicans to defeat the measures, highlighting a growing rift in the party as other prominent members shifted to support the block.

The New Republic and NBC News frame the outcome as Republicans blocking a Democratic effort to limit or end U.S. military action in Iran, while Conservative Institute foregrounds Fetterman siding with Republicans. Several outlets, including TIME and The Washington Post, note that Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote against the resolution.
