Protesters across the United States have called for President Joe Biden to push for a permanent ceasefire, with a demonstration on Thursday even interrupting the country’s largest Thanksgiving Day parade in New York.

As the president attended the Nantucket Christmas tree lighting ceremony on Friday, a group of about 10 protesters chanted “Biden, Biden you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide,” while holding a banner that read “Free Palestine”.

Earlier in the day, as the president walked about, a handful of people shouted “free Palestine” and “ceasefire now”.
