  • Pro-Palestinian protesters stormed into the lobby of New York City’s Rockefeller Center where President Joe Biden was taping Late Night with Seth Meyers
  • Demonstrators held up signs including ‘Jews to Biden: End Israel’s Siege of Gaza’ and chanted, ‘End the siege of Gaza now!’ 
  • Biden was a surprise guest for Meyers’ 10th anniversary of the show and appeared alongside comedian Amy Poehler 

Pro-Palestinian protesters stormed the lobby of New York’s Rockefeller Center to send a message to President Joe Biden, who was taking part in a taping of Late Night with Seth Meyers upstairs. 

Demonstrators were armed with several large signs and chanted ‘end the siege of Gaza now.’ 

The signs read ‘Jews to Biden: End Israel’s Siege of Gaza’ and ‘the whole world is watching.’ 

In one video from the scene, a New York City Police Department officer uses a megaphone to tell the crowd they will be arrested for trespassing if they don’t disperse. 

Several protesters were then seen getting arrested by the NYPD.

Biden was a surprise guest for Meyers’ 10th anniversary episode of the late night show. 

The president appeared on the show alongside comedian Amy Poehler. 

He was Meyers’ first guest in 2014, during his tenure as President Barack Obama’s vice president. 

During a gaggle on board Air Force One heading to New York Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked to confirm that Biden would be appearing on Meyers show and if the secrecy was to keep away protesters. 

‘I don’t have anything on that, if we have more to share certainly we will,’ she said when asked about an appearance on Meyers’ show. 

‘I don’t have anything else to share on that,’ she added when asked the White House was concerned about protests, which is why details about the president’s schedule were not being shared.
