Protests in support of Palestinians have also taken place in other cities worldwide.
The Israeli government's stance is that the war will not end until Hamas is neutralized.

Thousands of protesters from across the U.S. gathered in Washington, D.C., calling for a cease-fire in Gaza.

Thousands of protesters from across the United States gathered in Washington, D.C., calling for a cease-fire and an end to the siege on the Gaza Strip. The protest was organized by nine groups and saw participation from over 500 groups nationwide, with transportation arranged from 22 states, including Texas, Florida, and Kentucky, and Puerto Rico. The groups represented a diverse range of interests, including Black activists, student organizations, labor unions, and antiwar and environmental groups.

The protesters marched to the White House after a rally, accusing U.S. President Joe Biden of enabling genocide against Palestinians. This accusation comes amid Israel's relentless bombardment of Gaza, which has resulted in almost 10,000 deaths, many of them civilians, including children. The UN has also warned of a growing risk of genocide in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict.

The Israeli government's stance, as stated by Israeli ambassador to the U.S., Michael Herzog, is that the war will not end until Hamas is neutralized. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that there will be no temporary ceasefire until Hamas releases all of its prisoners. This stance has been met with demonstrations against U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to Turkey.

In the midst of the conflict, Palestinian telecommunications company Paltel reported that all communications and internet services have been cut again within the Gaza Strip. The humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders has called for a cease-fire, criticizing the strikes on hospitals, ambulances, densely populated areas, and refugee camps.

Protests in support of Palestinians have also taken place in other cities worldwide, including London, Paris, Berlin, Santiago, Caracas, Philadelphia, and New York. The global call for a cease-fire and an end to the siege in Gaza continues to grow louder as the conflict persists.
