Washington, June 9, 2024 — The area around the White House echoed with slogans demanding an end to the ongoing war in Gaza as thousands of protesters participated in the 'Red Line' protest against the conflict. Organized by several social organizations, the demonstration saw activists rallying against Israeli aggression and the U.S. government's support for Israel.

Protesters brandished anti-Israel banners and posters while waving Palestinian flags, creating a powerful visual statement as they circled the White House. The demonstrators called for an immediate halt to the violence in Gaza and condemned the U.S. administration for its financial and political support of the Netanyahu government. Many protesters labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden as murderers, expressing their anger and frustration.

The protest comes in response to the White House's earlier statement in May, asserting that Israel's attack on Rafah had not crossed the "red line" set by President Biden. Two months prior, Biden had warned Israel not to escalate its military actions to the point of crossing this critical threshold. Despite these warnings, the situation in Gaza has continued to deteriorate, prompting widespread outrage and calls for action from both domestic and international communities.

The 'Red Line' protest highlights the growing discontent among American citizens regarding their government's stance on the Gaza conflict and underscores the urgent call for peace and justice in the region.
