US Congressman Brian Mast was confronted by CodePink activists, who questioned him about a UN report stating that Israel kills or injures 100 children per day.
Mast responded by accusing Palestinians in Gaza of being terrorists and repeatedly dodged questions about the children of Gaza.
Among his responses was a claim that Gaza had committed genocide against Israel.
The pro-Israel congressman, who is also a volunteer in the Israeli army, sparked controversy when he wore an Israeli military uniform to Capitol Hill in October 2023.
Mast has reportedly received at least $616,000 in donations from pro-Israel lobbying groups.
