A large protest against Israel marched in Washington, D.C. on Friday, with hundreds gathering outside the White House gates where they shouted that President Joe Biden is “supporting genocide” with the administration’s policy of support for the only Middle East democracy in its response to the horrific Hamas terror attacks that targeted civilians.

As Biden was preparing to depart for a reception Friday, the pool reported that “a rather large mob of pro-Palestinian protests are yelling ‘cease-fire now’ outside the White House.”

NewsNation’s Kellie Meyer captured a photo through the fence ahead of Biden’s departure.

In a subsequent report, pool reporter Zachary Petrizzo noted that the motorcade “did NOT pass by protesters” when they left, and that they were chanting, “Biden, Biden you can’t hide. We charge you with genocide!”

Other reporters and observers, both on the White House grounds and outside the fence, shared photos and videos to social media of the protests, including Daily Signal’s Virginia Allen, who filmed the group shouting, “Biden, Biden you can’t hide you’re supporting genocide!”

There were some more neutral tweets as well as highly ideological ones that included photos and videos from the protests in D.C., which were in tandem with others taking place in the U.S. and abroad.

Although there were some conflicting reports about the intensity of the protest, Scripps News reported that “U.S. Capitol police did not issue any alerts about the protest on Friday and the crowd that gathered at the White House was said to just be chanting, without any significant reports of disorderly conduct immediately reported.”

This story may be updated to include additional video, photos, or accounts of the demonstrations.
