Protesters Disrupt Senate Hearing, Demand Cease-Fire in Israel-Hamas Conflict

A Senate hearing on supplemental funding for Israel's war against Hamas was disrupted by hecklers demanding an immediate cease-fire. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was repeatedly interrupted by protesters who accused the US of supporting "genocide and ethnic cleansing" in Gaza. Despite the disruptions, Blinken emphasized the US's commitment to supporting Israel's security and democracy. More than a dozen hecklers were removed from the hearing, and a large police presence was formed outside the room.
