Red paint resembling blood covers parts of the White House estate as pro-Palestine protests continue in Washington DC. Israel has ignored the US's call for a pause in the bombing of Gaza
Part of the White House was covered with red paint resembling blood today as protesters showed their anger at the situation in the Middle East.
“Demonstrators are beginning to disperse from the area and the attempted gate trespass from earlier was handled without incident by Secret Service Uniformed Division officers and support teams,” Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service, said of the protest that ended at 8pm.

Israel has continued to pound Gaza with airstrikes after the horror attacks by Hamas on October 7, which saw 1,400 people killed and over 200 hostages taken. Israel has said there will be no ceasefire unless all Hamas hostages are released, despite calls from the US for a humanitarian pause. Executive director for the Jewish Community Relations Group, Ron Halber, said the protests mounted to wholehearted support of the Hamas attack. "They are just incredibly misguided, uninformed and reactionary, and history will judge they have put themselves on the side of supporting terrorists versus a democracy trying to defend itself," he told Fox News.
