Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented Senator John Fetterman with a silver-plated beeper during a recent meeting. The gift commemorates a controversial military operation in September 2024, where Israel detonated thousands of explosive pagers in Lebanon targeting Hezbollah members, resulting in significant casualties, including civilians. Netanyahu emphasized the historical impact of the operation while conversing with Fetterman, who expressed his excitement about the story behind the gift. This event follows a similar gesture made to former President Donald Trump earlier, highlighting the ongoing dialogue surrounding Israel's military actions.
Netanyahu remarked on the significance of the silver-plated beeper, stating, "It's nothing, but it changes history," referencing the deadly pager attack in Lebanon.
Senator Fetterman expressed his admiration for the beeper, saying, "You know, when that story... broke, I was like, Oh I love it. I love it... Thank you for this."
