A dramatic protest shook Washington, DC, as retired U.S. Army officer Lieutenant Colonel, Anthony Aguilar, a former Green Beret, disrupted a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, accusing lawmakers of complicity in genocide in Gaza.

Aguilar, alongside former intelligence officer Captain Josephine Guilbeau, was escorted out by Capitol Police after condemning US support for Israel.

Aguilar, now a whistleblower, previously exposed abuses at the United States funded Gaza aid distribution sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) under Israeli military oversight.

He described the sites as “designed death traps,” alleging Israeli forces deliberately targeted starving civilians. Aguilar recounted the murder of a Palestinian child, Amir, whom he says was shot moments after receiving food aid.
