Protesters Disrupt Senate Hearing, Demand Ceasefire in Gaza

Chaos erupted in Congress as protesters interrupted Antony Blinken's testimony on aid to Israel and Ukraine, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and accusing Blinken of being a "murderer" with "blood on his hands." Demonstrators, some with hands covered in fake blood, called for an end to the "siege" of Gaza and accused the U.S. of "supporting genocide." The hearing was suspended as Capitol Police removed the protesters, and Blinken later resumed his testimony, emphasizing the U.S.' commitment to protecting civilian life. The disruption follows a series of similar demonstrations on Capitol Hill regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict. Meanwhile, Israel announced that it had killed "dozens" of Hamas terrorists during ongoing ground operations in Gaza.
