During President Joe Biden’s address at the Sister Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina—a site of a tragic 2015 shooting that claimed nine lives—protesters disrupted the event. Advocating for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, they repeatedly voiced chants demanding an immediate halt to the conflict. Despite the disturbance caused by their removal, President Biden acknowledged the demonstrators’ fervor and disclosed ongoing efforts to collaborate with the Israeli government for Gaza’s withdrawal.

Amidst the speech, a church attendee praised Biden, triggering chants of “Four more years” from the crowd. Despite the interruption, Biden’s focus remained on addressing the Gaza crisis and his commitment to facilitating the withdrawal in collaboration with Israel.
