Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted traffic in Washington DC during rush hour by blocking five major roadways to voice their opposition to US support for Israel. The demonstrators, some of whom are federal employees, also announced a 'one day hunger strike' in solidarity with Gaza. The protests, described by some as being in support of 'antisemitic terrorists' such as the Houthis and Hamas, took place around notable locations including Union Station and the Holocaust Museum. Police were actively trying to clear the protesters as they caused significant delays in DC and Arlington. The protesters were calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
