Pro-Palestine activists launch disgusting protest on Benjamin Netanyahu's table in DC before he addresses Congress

A Pro-Palestine activist group shared stomach-turning images of what they said was a protest against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli leader is scheduled to speak to Congress later on Wednesday amid the ongoing war in Gaza, which has sparked protests against the Jewish state all over the world.

Hours before the planned speech, the Palestinian Youth Movement's X account shared a video they claimed showed Netanyahu's table at the Watergate hotel in Washington DC full of maggots and critters.

The group wrote: 'BON APPETIT!! MAGGOTS RELEASED ON THE CRIMINAL ZIONIST'S WAR TABLE! 

'Palestine protestors manufactured chaos at the Watergate Hotel last night so that Netanyahu, Israeli Mossad agents, and the Secret Service had no peace as they continue to terrorize our people.'

The group's claims have not been confirmed, and Jewish Insider claims several people in Netanyahu's team have denied being aware of any protest involving maggots.

Jewish Insider reporter Lahav Harkov said: 'I talked to several people in Netanyahu’s delegation who know nothing about this, so either the Palestinian Youth Movement is lying or somehow security managed to clean this up and stop the fire alarms incredibly quickly.'

CNN reported that the Secret Service is investigating the reports that protesters gained access to the hotel where the Israeli delegation is staying. 

On Wednesday thousands of protesters condemning the war in Gaza descended on Washington, chanting 'Free, Free Palestine' as some tried to block streets ahead of Netanyahu’s speech to Congress.

Organizers said they would try to block Netanyahu’s route to the building, and police forcibly removed from the street protesters who were trying to block one intersection.

While many of the demonstrators have condemned Israel, others have expressed support while pressing Netanyahu to strike a cease-fire deal in the war with Hamas and bring home the hostages still being held by the militant group.

Many Jewish Americans view the war in Gaza as just because it came in response to the brutal October 7 Hamas attack, even if they don’t outright support Netanyahu and his policies. 

The families of hostages taken by Hamas are also protesting, demanding Netanyahu agree to a cease-fire deal that would free their loves ones.

Police have significantly boosted security around the Capitol and closed multiple roads for most of the week. Workers erected a black metal fence around the White House on Wednesday morning.

Dozens of protesters rallied outside Netanyahu’s hotel Monday evening after his arrival in Washington, and on Tuesday afternoon, hundreds of demonstrators staged a flashmob-style protest in the Cannon building, which houses offices of House members.

The Capitol Police said about 200 people were arrested Tuesday on charges stemming from the sit-in at the Cannon building. Jewish Voice for Peace said many more than that were arrested, rabbis among them.
