Images broadcast on television showed participants carrying Palestinian flags and banners alluding to the ceasefire, a claim so far ignored by Israel, which continues to bomb the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.
The Biden administration remains in line with its ally, which has not cut its military support for Tel Aviv and is refusing to join calls for an end to hostilities. The president will return to his Wilmington residence after delivering a Veterans Day speech in Virginia and will listen to protesters at a distance.
“Free Palestine” and “President Biden, you can’t hide!” “We accuse him of genocide!” were some of the slogans chanted by the crowd.
A demonstration in support of Palestine was also called in Atlanta, Georgia this afternoon, marking a week in which various protests were reported in other metropolitan areas.
Members of the peace organization CodePink interrupted Biden’s speech to auto workers in Illinois on Thursday in which he called for a ceasefire in the coastal enclave.
However, on the same day, the president rejected the possibility of a ceasefire in Gaza, despite Israel’s offensive actions.
When a journalist approached him before he flew to Illinois in the presidential helicopter on the South Lawn of the White House and asked: “What are the chances of a ceasefire in Gaza?” Biden replied: “None.” “Not a chance .”
Since October 7, when the latest escalation of violence in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict began, more than 10,000 Palestinians in Gaza have lost their lives to indiscriminate bombing by the Zionist army.
At least two-thirds of the dead are women and children, while more than two thousand people are buried under the rubble of this devastated area.
Last Saturday, more than 300,000 people gathered in this capital and other cities across the country with the same demand, joining the global mobilization in support of the Palestinian people.
The pressure is obviously starting to be felt. Secretary of State Antony Blinken publicly admitted that “too many Palestinians have died.”
According to the leader of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon (Hizbullah), Hassan Nasrallah, the Israeli genocide is currently more visible to the people of the world in that the murder of thousands of children and women has been proven.
