Massive Protests Demand Ceasefire in Gaza as IDF Offensive Persists

Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in Washington, D.C. to call for a cease-fire and an end to the siege on the Gaza Strip. The protest, organized by nine groups with participation from over 500 groups across the country, demanded an end to the Israeli government's bombing campaign in Gaza. Demonstrators marched to the White House, urging President Biden to call for an immediate and unconditional cease-fire. The protest comes as nearly 9,500 Palestinians have been killed since the conflict began, with calls for humanitarian aid and a halt to the violence growing louder.
