Thousands of anti-Israel protesters in Washington, D.C, unleashed maggots, crickets and other pests at a hotel where some of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s delegation stayed ahead of his Wednesday speech to Congress, the New York Post reports.
A video posted to X by the Palestinian Youth Movement showed moving critters scattered across a table flanked by Israeli and American flags.
The Watergate Hotel confirmed the insect intrusion. in a statement to The Post.
In a statement provided to The Post, the hotel commented, “Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our guests and staff. We took the necessary steps to ensure the property has been sanitized and is now operating as normal. We are cooperating fully with authorities, who are handling the situation. As this is an open case, we are unable to provide any further details at this time.”
A law enforcement source told The Post that even though the conference room appeared to be set up for official business, it was “not part of our agreed-upon security plan with the Israeli security services and our local partners.”
The protesters gathered on Capitol Hill to decry President Biden and Netanyahu’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war. The crowd was so large that outside law enforcement agencies — including the New York Police Department — were on hand to help with security.
