Protesters

Protesters repeatedly interrupt US Senate hearing on funding for Israel and Ukraine

From CNN's Jennifer Hansler

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's opening remarks at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing Tuesday were quickly and repeatedly interrupted by protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Within minutes of speaking, Blinken was interrupted by a man shouting “ceasefire now” and “save the children of Gaza.”

Subsequently, four other solo protesters and another group of protesters interrupted Blinken, shouting, “From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go!” and “Let Gaza Live!”

There were other protesters in the audience with their hands, painted red, in the air.
