Pro-Palestine demonstrators descend on Netanyahu's hotel in Washington

Pro-Palestine demonstrators have reportedly disrupted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stay at The Watergate Hotel in Washington DC.

A video posted on social media showed protesters with Palestinian flags facing off against the police. The scene was noisy, but the demonstration remained peaceful. 

An image of the Israeli prime minister’s face, captioned “Wanted: Arrest Netanyahu”, was projected on the exterior of the iconic hotel in Washington.

Several other videos shared on X appeared to show swarms of insects being released in the hotel. One X user said mealworms and maggots were placed on dining tables, and crickets were unleashed on some hotel floors.

MEE could not independently verify the videos.
