Protesters repeatedly yelled "Ceasefire now!" Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin were advocating for immediate aid to Israel and Ukraine. This came as the Biden administration's $105 billion emergency aid request for conflicts in these countries and others faces challenges in the divided Congress.
