Capitol Police arrested more than 40 protesters demonstrating at a Senate office building Monday.

The demonstrators were calling for a cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas.

One protester climbed the Mountains and Clouds Sculpture in the atrium of Hart Senate Office Building and tied himself to the sculpture.



Demonstrations are not allowed inside Capitol buildings.
