The United States Capitol Police (USCP) arrested about 200 people for protesting in Congress against the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who will deliver a speech in the Legislature tomorrow.
“Approximately 200 people were arrested for demonstrating inside the Cannon House building. Demonstrating inside the buildings of Congress is illegal,” the USCP noted in X.
Netanyahu was invited by the leaders of Congress, Democrat Chuck Schumer and Republican Mike Johnson.
On his visit to the United States he will meet with the president, Joe Biden; the presumed Democratic candidate for the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris; and former President Donald Trump, Republican candidate for the White House.
The protest took place at the emblematic roundabout of Congress, with dozens of people summoned by the organization “Jewish Voices for Peace” wearing red T-shirts with the message “not in my name.”
The protesters also carried banners with the slogans “the Jews tell Congress: stop sending weapons to Israel” or “no one is free until everyone is free.”
After several warnings for them to abandon the protest, the Congressional Police began to arrest the demonstrators.
This Wednesday, numerous protests are expected against Netanyahu’s presence in the federal capital, which has taken extreme security measures.
