Pro-Palestinian demonstrators rallied outside the White House on Saturday afternoon, protesting the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The crowd was heard chanting, “F**k Joe Biden,” while others held signs that read, “Free All Palestinian Political Prisoners,” “Stop the invasion! Hands off Rafah!” and “Hands off Rafah! Ceasefire now.”

The pro-Palestinian rally coincided with an announcement by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that four hostages taken by Hamas had been liberated from two separate locations in the Palestinian refugee camp of Nuseirat.
Hamas launched an attack on Israel by land, sea, and air on October 7, 2023, resulting in 1,200 deaths and over 250 individuals taken hostage.
President Joe Biden and his administration have been increasingly criticized for their stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict, with Democratic Party members such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) urging people to vote against Biden in the upcoming November elections.
