Shorts and rolled-up sleeves: US senator sparks controversy during meeting with Netanyahu - Sarmad

The appearance of U.S. Senator John Fetterman, wearing shorts during his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, sparked a wide wave of reactions across social media platforms.

During the meeting, Netanyahu praised Fetterman’s pro-Israel stance, describing him as one of the foremost advocates of the alliance between the two countries, while the Democratic senator expressed his criticism of some of his party’s leaders’ positions toward Israel.

However, attention on social media focused more on Fetterman’s attire and posture during the meeting at Blair House in Washington, where he was seen wearing a hoodie, shorts, and sneakers, appearing preoccupied with his phone—a scene some considered unusual for a formal meeting with a foreign head of government.
