Protesters calling for Gaza ceasefire disrupt US President Biden’s speech
8 January 2024 20:39 GMT
During a speech in Charleston, South Carolina, on Monday, demonstrators advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza momentarily disrupted US President Joe Biden.
“20,000 dead Palestinians; their blood is on your hands,” demonstrators shouted to Biden.
A small group of about six demonstrators were removed from the event while other attendees chanted “Four more years”.
“I understand their passion and I’ve been quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza,” Biden said in response.
“Twenty thousand dead Palestinians. Their blood is on your hands."
