In advance of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, protests are demanding a ceasefire and the return of hostages. Participants express deep concern over the ongoing war, which began with a Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, resulting in approximately 1,200 deaths, primarily civilians, and 251 hostages taken. The conflict has led to significant casualties, with Gaza's Health Ministry reporting over 56,000 Palestinian deaths. Protesters emphasize the urgency of ending the conflict and bringing the missing individuals back home.
"We needed them home a long time ago," said Ella Creme, holding a sign with her missing family member's name. "This war needs to end. That's why I'm here."
Josef Gal, who joined in solidarity, said: "634 days, it's just hard for me to believe... I feel that I must do something."
