On January 16, 2025, Husseini was physically removed from U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's final press conference after interrupting Blinken's prepared remarks with questions about the United States' handling of the genocide in Gaza and United States complicity in Israeli war crimes in the Israel–Hamas war. As Husseini was being removed, he shouted "Criminal! Why aren't you in The Hague?" (a reference to the International Criminal Court). Husseini reported afterward that he was "carried out and handcuffed", and that he felt that the security team had used "excessive force".
