Protesters against Israel gathered in Washington, D.C., before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress.
One protester with a covered face was seen carrying what looked like a Hamas flag.
Fox News estimated around a few hundred protesters assembled on Pennsylvania Avenue and 3rd Street outside the Gallery of Art. They have set up a stage in front of the Capitol building and are currently chanting.
The organizations leading the protest include Answer Coalition and Code Pink, with speakers from various groups, including the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
