Dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators took over the rotunda in the Cannon House Office building on Tuesday, the day before Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to address Congress.

Video footage of the protest showed demonstrators wearing shirts that read "Stop Arming Israel" and "Not in Our Name." Banners were also displayed, reading "Jews say: stop the genocide," and "Let Gaza Live."

Several of the protesters have been handcuffed and escorted away, according to Fox News. But the charges have not been announced so far.

"We are arresting a group that is illegally demonstrating inside the Cannon Rotunda. Demonstrations are not allowed inside the Congressional Buildings," United States Capitol Police said in a post to X. "We told the people, who legally entered, to stop or they would be arrested. They did not stop, so we are arresting them."

Capitol Police are currently preparing for thousands of protesters to gather outside of the Capitol complex in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, to protest the Israeli's leader speech.
