Schafer joined the Jewish Voice for Peace organization as protesters occupied 30 Rock on Monday for a sit-in.

The group signaled they were made up of Jewish-Americans, sporting T-shirts that read 'Not In Our Name'. 

The group, in a thread on X, said that 'hundreds of Jews and allies' had 'taken over' Rockefeller Center to 'make it clear' to the president that 'supporters of genocide are not welcome in our city'.

'The President needs to start answering to the American people - not the far-Right Israeli government indiscriminately bombing the people of Gaza, destroying 70 per cent of infrastructure, including hospitals, universities and the electricity and water grids,' the organization tweeted.

The group argued there is 'growing public consensus' to end 'further loss of life in Gaza' and called on Biden to take action.

They criticized his 'deadly foreign policy', citing how the US vetoed multiple UN ceasefire resolutions and how the president has 'pledged an additional $14.1billion in military funding to Israel'.

Schafer, a North Carolina native, is no stranger to public protests. The performer, who transitioned to female as a teenager, protested her home state's so-called 'bathroom bill', which restricted bathroom access for transgender individuals.

She attended a rally during a special session of the North Carolina General Assembly in Raleigh in December 2016, arguing for the repeal of the law, WUNC reported.

Schafer, then 18 and a high school senior, held a sign that read: 'Trans youth exist, are valid, [and] deserve basic human rights.'

Biden was a surprise guest for Meyers' 10th anniversary episode of the late night show on Monday. He appeared on the program alongside comedian Amy Poehler.

He was Meyers' first guest in 2014, during his tenure as President Barack Obama's vice president. 

As part of the taping, Biden and Meyers went next door to the Van Leeuwen ice cream parlor. He chose a mint chocolate chip cone.

During the jaunt the president was asked when a ceasefire in Gaza could begin. 

'I hope by the end of the weekend,' the president answered. 'My national security adviser tells me that we're close, we're close, we're not done yet. My hope is by next Monday we'll have a ceasefire.'  

Israeli officials expressed mild confusion about Biden's newfound optimism in the ice cream shop.  

Netanyahu was 'surprised' by Biden's remarks, according to a senior Israeli political source speaking to ABC News. 

Another source described Hamas' demands in order to reach a ceasefire were 'still delusional.'

The president was also asked about his dueling trip Thursday to a Texas border town. 

Biden will head Brownsville, Texas to survey the situation at the US-Mexico border, while former President Donald Trump will go to Eagle Pass, Texas. 

'I planned it for Thursday, what I didn't know was that my good friend apparently is going,' Biden told reporters.

He wouldn't say if he'd meet migrants on the ground.

'I'm not going to announce ahead of time,' the president said.  

During a gaggle on board Air Force One heading to New York Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked to confirm that Biden would be appearing on Meyers show and if the secrecy was to keep away protesters. 

'I don't have anything on that, if we have more to share certainly we will,' she said when asked about an appearance on Meyers' show. 

'I don't have anything else to share on that,' she added when asked the White House was concerned about protests, which is why details about the president's schedule were not being shared.
