Pro-Palestinian activists staged a demonstration during an event in Dublin featuring U.S. President Joe Biden, with some protesters throwing milk in his direction. The disruption reflected broader discontent among activist groups regarding American backing for Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The protest occurred as Biden was attending an event related to his son Hunter Biden. Security personnel managed the situation, and the demonstration was contained without major incident.
The incident is among several demonstrations that have followed Biden's public appearances in Europe, with pro-Palestinian advocates using various tactics to draw attention to their cause and criticize U.S. Middle East policy.
Ireland has been a focal point for pro-Palestinian activism in recent months, with significant public sentiment favoring Palestinian rights. The demonstration adds to a pattern of public dissent over U.S. support for Israel that has manifested across multiple continents.
