Demonstrators gather outside White House to reject Israeli PM’s visit and Trump’s call for forced displacement in Gaza.
Washington, DC – As President Donald Trump called for ethnically cleansing Gaza and for the United States to “own” the territory, hundreds of protesters outside the White House warned him that “Palestine is not for sale”.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Washington, DC, on Tuesday evening to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House and call on the Trump administration to stop supplying weapons to Israel.
The protesters chanted, “Free Palestine” and denounced Israeli atrocities amid a heavy security presence.
Michael Schirtzer, an activist at the protest, said Americans do not want their tax money used to kill Palestinians.
Schirtzer dismissed Trump’s call for ethnically cleansing Gaza as an “insane” position.
