In a powerful display of solidarity, progressive Jewish-American activists have taken their demands for a ceasefire in Gaza directly to lawmakers by staging a sit-in inside the US Capitol. Earlier today, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the building to amplify their plea for an end to the ongoing conflict.

Following a similar protest near the White House by Jewish groups, the advocacy organisation Jewish Voice for Peace took to social media to announce their sit-in, stating, “Hundreds of American Jews are holding a sit-in at Congress — and we won’t leave until Congress calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.” The group further highlighted the presence of over 350 individuals, including two dozen rabbis, who were engaged in a prayerful resistance.
