"Rabbis Urge President Biden to End Gaza War Veto"
TL;DR
More than 30 rabbis and rabbinical students staged a protest at the United Nations, calling for a cease-fire in Gaza as the death toll from the Israeli invasion of the territory rises. The rabbis gained access to the building as part of a guided tour and entered the Security Council Chamber to recite prayers and chant their support for a cease-fire. The protest was organized by Jewish groups in support of a cease-fire, and the rabbis held up a banner addressed to President Joe Biden demanding a cease-fire. The protest was not adversarial toward the United Nations but came in response to the United States' actions as part of the body.
