U.S. President Joe Biden was interruped during an address on Sunday at the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Protesters called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an end to genocidal attacks by Israel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The U.S. president was giving a speech at the church in Charleston, where an avowed white supremacist shot nine Black parishioners in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If you really care about the lives lost here, then you should honour lives lost and call for a ceasefire in Palestine,” one protester shouted, before others chanted: “Ceasefire now”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president attempted to calm the situation, holding up his hands while saying: “That’s alright.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As security removed the protesters from the church, he said: “I understand their passion, and I’ve been quietly working, quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 23,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since October 7th.
