More than 30 protesters were arrested in front of the White House on Monday, according to the U.S. Secret Service.
Tensions are high. FOX 5's Sierra Fox spoke with D.C. resident Bar Asherov who is feeling the pain and worrying about his family and friends in Israel.
"We need a cease-fire. We need innocent people to stop being killed," Mohamad Habehh, the director of development for the American Muslims for Palestine – which organized the Saturday rally – told Fox News. "It seems that the Biden administration would rather condemn people calling for peace than try to step in."
On Monday, "more than 30 individuals were arrested by the U.S. Secret Service’s Uniformed Division for Unlawful Entry or Incommoding after crossing safety barriers or blocking entrances during a demonstration at the White House complex," Special Agent Steve Kopek, a U.S. Secret Service spokesperson, told Fox News in a statement. "What's going on is sad. What's going on is kids being murdered, killed," one attendee, "Haitham," said Saturday.
