Nihad Awad, executive director or the Council on American-Islamic Relations, speaks during a protest against Naftali Bennett’s first visit to the White House as prime minister of Israel. Demonstrators demand that the United States sanction Israel for its continued attacks on Palestinians, including the killing of children, and ongoing removal of Palestinians from their homes. As the rally began, Secret Service officers informed demonstrators that they could not protest in Lafayette Park and set up a police line around the perimeter. The order is highly unusual; the Secret Service regularly allows protests by thousands of people in the park.
