Secretary of State Antony Blinken faced interruptions during his remarks to reporters on Thursday.

Attendees who were not part of the regular State Department press corps shouted questions regarding U.S. support for Israel.

These outbursts occurred while he attempted to deliver farewell comments in the State Department briefing room.

At least one individual was escorted out after approaching the podium and recording Blinken while yelling questions.

Blinken responded to the disruptions by stating that he would address questions after completing his prepared remarks.
