CHARLESTON: US President Joe Biden was interrupted on Monday during a speech when several protestors chanted and shouted, calling for ceasefire in Gaza.
The people were upset over Biden’s staunch support for Israel in its war on Gaza and called out that if he really cared about loss of lives.
They called for ceasefire in Gaza to support innocent Palestinians who are being killed by relentless Israel’s bombardment.
Biden responded by saying he was working with the Israeli government to lessen its military operations in Gaza.
He was speaking at the Mother Emanuel AME Church, where in 2015 nine black parishioners were shot to death by the white stranger.

Earlier the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Sunday strongly condemned the Israeli occupation forces’ deliberate targeting of press and media staff and their families in the occupied Palestinian territory.
