European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was interrupted during her speech at the European Defence and Security Summit in Brussels by protesters accusing her of supporting genocide in Gaza. The protesters, including journalist David Cronin who attempted a citizen's arrest, criticized von der Leyen for her pro-Israeli stance, alleging her complicity in the deaths of 13,800 Palestinian children. Concurrently, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin faced similar accusations during a House Appropriations Committee hearing on the Pentagon budget, where protesters demanded a ceasefire in Gaza and condemned U.S. support for Israel, which has affected over 100,000 people.
