The California Assembly went into recess after a group of pro-Palestinian protesters entered the rotunda and chanted "cease-fire now."
According to spokesperson for the state Capitol, 100 protesters were in the rotunda. The group unveiled banners condemning support for Israel as they chanted "cease-fire now."
As the singing began, a speaker in the Assembly could be heard calling for a recess.
The protesters were wearing T-shirts with the name of the Jewish pro-Palestinian organization "Not in Our Name." One banner read, "Jews say not in our name," while another read, "Jews say no U.S. funding for Israel's genocide in Palestine."
