The now-famously pro-Israel Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has been one of the few members of his party not only to strongly support the Jewish state, but also to openly congratulate President Trump on the release of the remaining hostages.
This should not have been a difficult move for any of the Democrats, but their petty hatred of Trump seems to override all things.
FOX News reports:
Fetterman marks release of last living hostages: ‘The nightmare finally ends’Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania marked the release of the remaining living hostages held by Hamas, the terror group that perpetrated the heinous October 7, 2023, attack in Israel.He credited President Donald Trump with helping to negotiate the peace agreement that led to the release of the captives kidnapped during the attack.”The nightmare finally ends. May the hostages have a full recovery and may we never forget those who didn’t make it out alive. Credit to @POTUS for a breakthrough ceasefire of this awful war,” Fetterman noted in his post on X.Fetterman began his post with a quote from former hostage Eli Sharabi, who was released back in February. That two-word quote, “Now, life,” comes from Sharabi’s memoir, “Hostage.”Fetterman has been a steadfast and ardent supporter of Israel in the wake of the horrific 2023 attack and the war that followed.”I congratulate @POTUS on this historic peace plan that releases all the hostages. Now, enduring peace in the region is possible. Our parties are different but we have a shared ironclad commitment to Israel and its people,” he noted in a post on X last week.

After the October 7th attacks, Fetterman put up posters of the missing and those taken hostage in his office.
Note how Newsweek chose to cover that:
