Anti-Israel organizers gathered in the Cannon Rotunda on Tuesday afternoon amid Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to D.C.
Protesters gathered in the Cannon Rotunda on Tuesday afternoon to protest the Israeli government, with some being arrested by law enforcement. Video shows a large group of protesters wearing red shirts sitting in circles in the Cannon House Office Building's rotunda. Demonstrators clapped and chanted as police officers were seen apprehending fellow protesters, who were escorted away. The protesters appeared to be part of a Jewish group, with several of them wearing kippahs.
The United States Capitol Police told Fox News Digital that the protest involved 'peaceful demonstrators.' The number of arrests is currently unknown, but police reported at around 4:30 p.m. that the rotunda has been cleared. 'The Cannon Rotunda is now clear of demonstrators,' the police's X post read. 'We will provide number of arrests tonight when we get the final number.
