Wafa Agency reported that demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people were held in Manhattan, Rochester, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and Dallas, the most prominent of which was a stand in front of the White House in Washington, DC, where the demonstrators demanded that the government of President Joe Biden ban arms from “Israel” to stop the genocide it is committing against innocent people and transfer funds to aid those affected inspecific areas instead of supporting “Israel” which is committing massacres against the Palestinians.

The demonstration included raising the Palestinian flag and chanting slogans denouncing the Israeli occupation and the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip, affirming their support for the complaint filed against Israel before the International Court of Justice.
