Washington, D.C. — Dramatic scenes unfolded during a U.S. Senate hearing after a former United States Marine interrupted proceedings with a protest, shouting that “no one wants to fight for Israel,” before being forcibly removed from the chamber.
The disruption occurred while lawmakers were holding a session attended by several officials and members of the public. Witnesses said the man stood up during the hearing and began shouting his message, drawing immediate attention from security personnel and lawmakers present.
Video circulating online shows the tense moment as police officers moved in to restrain the protester. In the footage, a U.S. senator is also seen assisting officers as they dragged the former Marine out of the hearing room while he continued shouting.
The brief confrontation caused a temporary disruption to the proceedings before order was restored and the hearing continued.
The identity of the protester and the specific charges he may face were not immediately confirmed at the time of reporting. Senate security officials typically remove individuals who interrupt official proceedings in order to maintain order during congressional hearings.
The incident has since sparked widespread reactions on social media, with users debating the protester’s message and the response from authorities.
