Secretary of State Antony Blinken acknowledged the protesters against the Israel-Hamas war who derailed his appearance before the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin were interrupted multiple times on Tuesday by demonstrators who demanded a ceasefire in Israel while blasting the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war against Hamas. Blinken was eventually able to speak, so he made the case for President Joe Biden’s requested $105 billion supplemental for aid to Ukraine and Israel.
