Moment Joe Biden heckled by pro-Palestine protesters during speech

Joe Biden defended his stance on Israel on Monday as a major campaign speech by the US president was disrupted by hecklers calling for a ceasefire. Mr Biden, 81, said he had been “quietly” working with the Israeli government to reduce their military action and “get out of Gaza”. His speech at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, had been billed by the president’s aides as his second major event to kick off his 2024 re-election bid. But it was disrupted by protesters chanting “ceasefire now”. They were escorted from the venue as Mr Biden’s supporters tried to drown out the chants with shouts of “four more years”. Mr Biden said: “I understand their passion and I’ve been quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza”. #biden #israel #palestine #gaza #usa #politics #chanting Subscribe to The Telegraph with our spe
