Thousands Rally in Front of White House to Demand Ceasefire in Gaza
News - Middle East: Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in Washington DC, calling for an end to Israel's brutal war in the Gaza Strip, which has entered its 100 days.
The demonstrators gathered in front of the White House in the United States capital on Saturday, as they carried signs listing the names of Palestinians killed and accusing President Joe Biden of participating in genocide.
The protesters also held aloft signs questioning Biden’s viability as a presidential candidate due to his support for Israel’s assault on Gaza, with some of the signs reading “No votes for Genocide Joe,” “Biden has blood on his hands" and “Let Gaza live.”
Sunday’s event was led by a coalition of pro-Palestinian groups who are calling for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza, an end to US funding for the Israeli military and for Israel to be held accountable for “war crimes and violations of international law.”
Attendees from close to two dozen states participated in the rally, marking the biggest pro-Palestinian march since November.
