President Joe Biden said Monday he hoped a ceasefire in Gaza could start by the beginning of next week.

Visiting New York, Biden was asked when a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas might start, and answered, “My national security advisor tells me that we’re close, we’re close, we’re not done yet. My hope is by next Monday we’ll have a ceasefire.”

Biden’s Monday afternoon taping of NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” drew a crowd of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, the latest instance of progressive pushback against his administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

The group Jewish Voice for Peace NYC posted pictures of the protesters on social media. Some wore shirts saying, “cease-fire now,” while holding a banner with the words “Jews to Biden: Stop Arming Genocide.”

“Hundreds of Jews and allies are taking over NBC’s famed 30 Rockefeller Center headquarters in NYC to disrupt President Biden’s appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. @POTUS deadly foreign policy has funded and armed genocide in Gaza,” the group wrote.
