Rallies in support of Palestinians and an immediate ceasefire have taken place in New York City and Washington, DC. In New York, hundreds, possibly thousands, of demonstrators gathered at Grand Central Station, with pro-Palestinian rallies growing in size as the conflict in Gaza continues. In Washington, DC, protesters in front of the White House chanted slogans denouncing the war, calling for an end to the conflict, and an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. These protests reflect the escalating global concern for the ongoing violence in the region. Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane reports from Washington, DC on the rallies that took place across the US.

The human rights organisation Jewish Voice for Peace says that 500 people were arrested at their protest against “Israel’s ongoing oppression of Palestinians” in Washington DC on Wednesday. The protestors sat on the floor of the lobby of the US Congress building, unfurling a large banner that said ceasefire as they were surrounded by police. “We shut down Congress to draw mass attention to the US complicity in Israel’s ongoing oppression of Palestinians,” the group said. The US Capitol Police said it cleared the rotunda, around one hour ago, and that it is still processing arrests. Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane reports from Washington, DC.
