Pro-Palestinian Protests Spark Tensions in Washington Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict
Political leaders in Washington have expressed condemnation towards protesters who defaced historic monuments during a pro-Palestinian demonstration in the Capitol on Wednesday.
The protests, which coincided with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, have been a focal point of escalating tensions in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The demonstrations, which have been ongoing across the United States since Hamas’ terrorist attack in October, have intensified as the war continues to ravage the Gaza Strip and hostages remain in captivity.
