Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has been a vocal supporter of Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a silver pager to Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Wednesday as a thank-you gift for his support of Israel.
Fetterman, who has been a vocal supporter of Israel, received the gift during a visit with his wife, Gisele, to the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem. Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, was also present.
The pager is an ode to Israeli attacks in Lebanon and Syria in September 2024, in which Israel triggered explosions of hundreds of pagers and walkie-talkies used by the militant group known as Hezbollah. The attack killed 13 people, some of whom were children, and injured thousands more.
“During the warm and friendly meeting, the Prime Minister and his wife thanked Senator Fetterman and his wife for their consistent support of Israel since the outbreak of the war,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement. “Prime Minister Netanyahu gave Senator Fetterman a silver pager, inspired by ‘Operation Pager’, which changed the face of the war in Lebanon.”
Netanyahu also gifted a golden pager to President Donald Trump during a visit to the White House last month. Trump called the attacks a “great operation” after receiving the gift.
