Anti-Israel protesters claim to have unleashed maggots and crickets at Israeli delegation’s hotel ahead of Netanyahu speech

A pro-Palestinian group posted a video on Wednesday alleging that maggots and other creatures had been released at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., where part of the Israeli delegation was staying.

The video showed the animals spread out on a table with Israeli and American flags in the background.

“Palestinian protesters caused chaos at the Watergate Hotel last night and Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israeli Mossad agents and the Secret Service are not getting any peace as they continue to terrorize our people,” the Palestinian Youth Movement posted on X.
