Pro-Palestinian protestors interrupted the White House's annual Christmas tree lighting on Tuesday afternoon, as the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas continues.

Four demonstrators were arrested, according to the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP). Some demonstrators chanting “cease-fire now” interrupted the ceremony, but did not break through police lines. 

"Tonight during the annual Christmas tree lighting at the Capitol, four people were arrested by U.S. Capitol Police and charged with disorderly conduct, District of Columbia Code 22-1321," the USCP said in a statement.

The White House Christmas tree had fallen earlier that day due to strong winds.
