Republican Senator Thom Tillis said: "Anti-Israel protestors making a mess of the Senate.

"I’m sure they’ll change hearts and minds by making hardworking Senate custodial workers spend their entire day cleaning up the mess they created.

"Thank you to Capitol Police and the Senate facility staff for upholding professionalism in the midst of such clownery."

Demonstrators from the Jewish Voice for Peace also chained themselves to the White House fence.

The protests come after the security council held an emergency meeting on Friday after UN secretary general Antonio Guterres invoked Article 99.

America vetoed the resolution calling for a ceasefire put forward by the United Arab Emirates.

A temporary ceasefire had been brought in but was called off after Hamas fired rockets into Israel and failed to provide a list of hostages.

The IDF responded by confirming fighting would continue.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that Hamas “violated the framework, did not meet its obligation to release all hostage women, and fired rockets at Israel”.

They added: “Amid the return to combat, we stress the government of Israel is committed to achieving the goals of the war — releasing our hostages, eliminating Hamas, and ensuring that Gaza can never again threaten the people of Israel.”

Hamas is also refusing to tone down its rhetoric and is instead vowing to inflict yet another attack on Israel in the future.

The Islamist terror group’s leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar said: “The leaders of the occupation [Israel] should know, October 7 was just a rehearsal.”

At least 1,200 people were killed during Hamas attack and around 240 people were taken hostage.
