About two dozen pro-Palestinian demonstrators have gathered in East Jerusalem. The protesters are holding Palestinian flags and posters of Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist who was killed in May while covering an Israeli military raid in the West Bank.
The demonstration is several hundred meters from the hospital Biden is visiting, with Israeli police standing at a distance outside the building. It is not clear if Biden’s motorcade will pass by the crowd.
