Netanyahu Gifts Fetterman Silver-Plated Beeper Honoring Controversial Hezbollah Operation

The symbolic gift underscores Fetterman’s strong pro-Israel stance and the broader implications of Israel’s military strategies in Lebanon and Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented U.S. Senator John Fetterman with a silver-plated beeper during a meeting in Jerusalem, referencing Israel's 2024 operation against Hezbollah.
The operation involved detonating booby-trapped pagers in Lebanon, killing 12 to 42 people, including civilians and children, and injuring thousands, sparking international criticism over potential violations of international law.
Fetterman, a vocal supporter of Israel, praised the operation, calling it a clever and effective strategy, despite its humanitarian repercussions.
The meeting also included a gift exchange, with Fetterman offering Netanyahu a framed newspaper article commemorating a Philadelphia memorial for Netanyahu's late brother, Yoni Netanyahu.
This diplomatic gesture comes as Israel faces renewed conflict in Gaza and Lebanon, drawing scrutiny over its military actions and their impact on civilians.
