A congressional hearing was dramatically dominated by protesters demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.

Amid chaotic scenes, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Ausitn were forced to sit in silence as protesters chanted “ceasefire now!”

They also held signs reading “All walls must go.”

At least five individual demonstrators interrupted the proceedings and were removed.
