In the U.S., thousands converged on the capital to protest the Biden administration’s support of Israel and its continued military campaign in Gaza.
From Washington to Milan to Paris, tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched Saturday, calling for a halt to Israel's bombardment of Gaza.
Leveling direct criticism of President Joe Biden, Renad Dayem of Cleveland said she made the trip with her family so her children would know"the Palestinian people are resilient — and we want a leader who won't be a puppet to the Israeli government." Biden was in Rehoboth, Delaware, for the weekend and didn't comment on the protests. In a brief exchange with reporters as he left St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church on Saturday, he suggested there has been some forward movement in the U.S efforts to persuade Israel to agree to a humanitarian pause, answering"yes" when asked if there was progress.
Multiple countries in Europe have reported increasing antisemitic attacks and incidents since Oct. 7.
