"It's an absolute betrayal for Israel and for the worldwide Jewish community," said Fetterman.

On Sunday, Graham condemned Western nations that recognized a Palestinian state, accusing them of "rewarding killing Jews" with that decision.

The United States has not formally recognized a Palestinian state.

Fetterman also criticized Democrats for embracing what he called openly hostile, anti-Israel rhetoric, saying it is now "becoming more and more part of my party's platform."

"I can't imagine why so many parts of people in my party continue to back away or to kind of deflect… condemning these kinds of horrific acts of terrorism," said Fetterman.

"The young people in our nation have turned their back entirely against Israel, and that's the social media, that's the scourge, that's where antisemitism breeds," he said.

The attack left 12 dead, including one suspected shooter, and injured many more.
