Fetterman is losing top staff over his hard pro-Israel turn and repeated votes to back Trump's war powers in Iran — bad news for Democrats hoping to rein in the conflict.

• Fetterman's chief of staff quit after he voted for the eighth time against ending Trump's Iran war powers.
• Staff blame his shift on an advisor, David Safier, who reportedly spends long stretches inside Fetterman's office.
• Aides say Fetterman comes out of those meetings sounding much more pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian.
• Multiple staffers say they listened in on direct calls between Fetterman and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, which is unusual for a US senator.
• TYT floats a blackmail theory to explain the behavior, though there is no evidence for it.

Outlook: More staff departures and growing pressure inside the Democratic Party as Fetterman keeps backing Trump on Iran and Israel.
