Fetterman urges South Africa to ‘sit out’ of genocide trial against Israel

Published January 11, 2024 12:15pm ET



Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) suggested that South Africa should “sit out” its international case against Israel over alleged genocide.

Fetterman addressed the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center on Wednesday on the eve of an International Court of Justice case against Israel over the alleged genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. The Pennsylvania senator has long denounced the actions of Hamas while also offering support for Israel. During his speech, Fetterman suggested that everyone should “stop talking about proportion” when it comes to Israel’s response to the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7.
