President Biden was criticized on social media for hosting a barbeque while Hamas terrorists continue attacking Israel through the weekend.

The war, which began early Saturday morning on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, has killed at least 1,100 people so far. More than 700 people were found dead in Israel, with at least 400 other decedents in Gaza.

A reporter overheard a live band at the White House on Saturday evening and inquired why.

“In the late afternoon and early evening, a live band could be heard coming from the area near the Rose Garden,” the pool reporter wrote. “Your pooler asked why a band was playing. From the White House: The President and First Lady are hosting a BBQ for White House Executive Residence Staff and their families.”

Conservatives gathered on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to express their disapproval over the event.

“While Hamas holds Americans hostage, Joe Biden is enjoying a picnic with a live band,” Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley tweeted.

“Given recent events, and certainly with the news of many Americans being held hostage in Gaza, I think I would have cancelled the White House BBQ with the live band,” Former Virginia Congressman Scott Taylor wrote.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for a statement but has not heard back.
