Senior Biden official disrupted during university talk, accused of 'complicity in genocide'

US Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights Uzra Zeya was confronted during a talk she gave at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia.

Students and alumni asked Zeya: "Do you support an end to the genocide?"

"Palestinian lives, generations gone because of your administration. Shame," said one student.

Rights groups, legal experts and several countries have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, and a case at the International Court of Justice on the matter is ongoing. Israel denies that it is doing so and says its war in Gaza is self-defence.
