Protesters gathered in Washington D.C. to demonstrate against the Gaza war, staging a 'die-in' near Lafayette Park and the White House while President Joe Biden met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The protesters poured red liquid on the street, symbolizing the blood of those killed in Gaza, and chanted 'Arrest Netanyahu.' An effigy of Netanyahu, with blood on its hands and wearing an orange jumpsuit labeled 'Wanted for crimes against humanity,' was also displayed.
Since the war began in October, over 39,000 people have lost their lives in Gaza, with several Israeli hostages still held by Hamas. Netanyahu defended Israel's actions during the conflict in a recent address to Congress, prompting thousands of demonstrators to gather near the Capitol, demanding his arrest.
