Naomi Lim is a White House reporter at the Washington Examiner. She previously reported on crime and politics for News Corp Australia. She returned to Washington in 2015 after interning in Washington, D.C., as an undergraduate. She worked at CNN and the BBC while earning a master's degree in public policy from Georgetown University.

President Joe Biden does not agree with anti-Israel protesters smearing red paint to look like blood on one of the White House's north gates, according to press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

When asked whether Biden thought it was"appropriate," Jean-Pierre told reporters Tuesday,"Obviously not.""I would have to refer to the Secret Service on that and the Park Police for questions about the way the protest was handled," she said."That is their focus. That is their job." After last weekend's protests against Israel's response to Hamas's Oct. 7 terrorist attack, Jean-Pierre also tried to avoid questions about whether people tearing down posters of Israeli hostages being held by Hamas were taking part in peaceful protests.

"I've sort of kind of seen the reporting here and there," she said."I'm just not going to go into specifics on that particular thing. What I can say is there are real violent protests and threats that are happening right now, and senior administration officials are aware of these reports, which are deeply concerning, and that is something that we're focused on.

"One month in, it's good for everybody to take a knee, take a pause, and remember the scope of the suffering here,” he said.
