Six spectators charged for "disrupting" Netanyahu speech

• All the guests who were arrested are family members of hostages who are either currently held by Hamas or died in captivity.

What they're saying: "Five people in the House Gallery just disrupted the Address during the Joint Meeting," Capitol Police spokesperson Brianna Burch said of the first five arrests in a statement.

• "All of them were immediately removed from the Gallery and arrested. Disrupting the Congress and demonstrating in the Congressional Buildings is against the law."
• Burch told Axios that those five and one additional guest were charged under a Washington, D.C. statute that makes it a crime to "parade, demonstrate, or picket within any of the Capitol Buildings."

Zoom in: The guests arrested were Michael Levy, Carmit Palty Katzir, Gil Dickmann, Leat Ruben Unger, Alon Gat and Zahiro Shahar Mor, according to the Capitol Police.

• Mor was invited by Rep. Ilham Omar (D-Minn.), who did not attend the speech, while Unger was a guest of of Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.).

The other side: "After nine long months of waiting for a deal to bring all of our hostages home, we came to the United States along with 40 other hostage families to advocate for a deal that will return all hostages home now," the hostage family members said in a statement.

• "Some of us wore a t-shirt calling on our Prime Minister to finally seal that deal, because this is his responsibility. And for that perceived offense, we were removed from the visitors gallery."
