Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., delivered a fiery speech on Wednesday defending Israel from the genocide accusations made against the country at the International Court of Justice.

"It's a group of cowards," he said about Hamas. "They hide in tunnels, they hide behind civilians, they attack, kill and mutilate children, women. Stop talking about proportion on that."

Fetterman also said Hamas "would have taken more lives if they could" on Oct. 7.

The Democratic senator has been steadfast in his support for Israel despite splinters within his party on the Israel-Hamas war, mentioning in late December he "would be the last man standing to be absolutely there on the Israeli side on this with no conditions."
