"Ceasefire in Gaza!" Anti-war protesters disrupt US hearing on funding Israel

During Secretary of State Antony Blinken's testimony at a congressional hearing asking US lawmakers to provide billions more dollars to Israel in their fight against Hamas, anti-war protesters repeatedly interrupted the session, denouncing American officials for backing "genocide" against Palestinians in Gaza.

As the hearing began, a line of protesters raised red-stained hands in the air. Capitol police later removed them from the hearing room after they shouted protests including, "Ceasefire now!" and "Protect the children of Gaza!"

Defense Lloyd Austin also testified to the Senate Appropriations Committee on Biden's request for $106 billion to fund ambitious plans for Ukraine, Israel and U.S. border security.
