Palestine solidarity rallies_ Large crowds gather in cities across the US

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.
