U.S. Democratic Senator John Fetterman rejected characterizing Israel's military operations in Gaza as genocide, instead describing them as a "just war" in response to Hamas attacks, Eye on Palestine reported. Fetterman cited Israel's allowance of medical evacuations and population vaccinations as evidence against genocide claims.
The senator's position aligns with the Biden administration's official stance, which has resisted international pressure to classify Israel's conduct in Gaza under genocide law despite the scale of Palestinian casualties and destruction.
