Pro-Palestinian protesters threw milk cartons and other objects at Joe Biden outside Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, during an event honoring his son, Hunter Biden. Three men were arrested following the incident. The protest occurred as Biden attended a ceremony where Hunter Biden received the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse from the College Historical Society. Demonstrators shouted slogans such as "Genocide Joe" and "Blood on your hands," criticizing the former US president's administration's support for Israel during the Gaza war. Security personnel opened umbrellas to shield Biden as he was escorted to his vehicle. Biden visited Dublin with his wife, Jill Biden, for the award ceremony. The College Historical Society, founded in 1770, has previously honored figures including former Irish President Michael D. Higgins, artists Bob Geldof and Patti Smith, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
