The annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner took place amid protests and boycott calls over the conflict in Gaza. Protesters chanted slogans and unfurled a Palestinian flag outside the venue, while a group called Code Pink threatened to disrupt the event. Inside, President Joe Biden faced criticism for US support of Israel’s military offensive. Comedian Colin Jost delivered the traditional roast, which included jabs at Biden and former President Donald Trump. Despite the controversy, the dinner proceeded as scheduled, with celebrities and journalists in attendance.
