"Protesters Demand Gaza Ceasefire at Statue of Liberty and San Diego Office"

Hundreds of protestors, including members of Jewish Voice for Peace-New York City, staged a sit-in demonstration at the Statue of Liberty demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. The protest coincided with the announcement that the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza since October 7th surpassed 10,000. This is the second mass demonstration in New York City by the group, with previous protests also calling for a ceasefire. Protests have been gathering pace across the United States, with tens of thousands attending pro-Palestinian rallies in Washington DC and other cities. Some activists have warned that President Biden's support for Israel during the conflict could impact his chances of re-election.
