Protesters rally outside US Capitol to demand arms embargo against Israel

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators rallied outside the US Capitol on Saturday to demand an end to Israel's genocide in the Gaza Strip as well as a US arms embargo and sanctions on Israel.

Hawzah News Agency- Protesters waved Palestinian flags and carried large signs denouncing the genocide in Gaza and Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. Some signs drew attention to the economic costs of US wars, linking military spending to high prices and low wages at home.

Organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement and other pro-Palestinian groups, the rally and march marked three years since the start of Israel's military offensive in Gaza in October 2023.

Urging renewed pressure on Washington for its military and diplomatic support for Israel, organizers demanded an “absolute arms embargo and sanctions” on Israel.
