Capitol Police use pepper spray on demonstrators protesting Netanyahu’s visit

U.S. Capitol Police used pepper spray to disperse a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visiting Congress. The protesters were from the ANSWER Coalition and were accused of failing to obey police orders and becoming violent. Some protesters got close to Capitol Police officers, leading to the use of pepper spray. The incident was captured on video and shared on social media, with protesters expressing anger at the police actions. Netanyahu was meeting with lawmakers and protesters outside were calling for his arrest for genocide in Palestine. Inside the chamber where Netanyahu was speaking, three people were arrested for disrupting the event with t-shirts advocating for a cease-fire. The situation is still developing, with updates expected. There is growing tension and opposition to Netanyahu’s visit and actions in the region.
