The student, who was joined by an apparent colleague, was met with boos and was told by people in the crowd to sit down after they realized it was a protest.

Despite the disruption, Pelosi continued her remarks, when she called for peace in Gaza.

"The suffering of Gaza must stop," the Democratic lawmaker said, per the Telegraph. "We want peace on both sides. Both sides must agree to it."

On Monday, Pelosi visited University College Dublin in Dublin, where she was presented the Sutherland Leadership Award. During her visit, students protest outside the university.

The interruption comes as hundreds of students at elite U.S. colleges and universities have formed anti-Israel encampments on their campuses. The demonstrations, some violent and antisemitic in nature, have called for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza as their war has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians.
