STORYLINE:
Multiple protesters demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip repeatedly interrupted a hearing held by the U.S. Senate on the Joe Biden administration's massive budget request for funding Israel and Ukraine in their respective conflicts.
The Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, attended by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin as witnesses giving testimonies, was interrupted at least six times by multiple anti-war protesters, who called for an end to the brutality and condemned the United States for aiding the "massacre."
Minutes into Blinken's opening remarks, a man in the audience was heard shouting "ceasefire now," "save the children of Gaza" and "Where is your pride, America?" before he was escorted out
