Calls for Ceasefire Echo Across Portland, Los Angeles as Protests Escalate

Jewish Voices for Peace, a group of protestors in Portland, has shut down the Burnside Bridge to call for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. They condemn the Israeli government's actions as a genocide against Palestinians and demand an end to the occupation. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue fighting despite international pressure and criticism of the civilian death toll and humanitarian crisis.
