Global Outrage: Pro-Palestinian Rallies and Riots Shake Jordan and Lebanon

Pro-Palestinian rallies have erupted worldwide following an explosion at a hospital in Gaza, with demonstrations taking place in Bahrain, Cairo, Barcelona, and Washington, D.C. In Washington, hundreds of demonstrators, including progressive Jewish groups, protested inside a congressional office building, demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. Capitol Police made approximately 300 arrests. The event was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, a group with a history of anti-Israel activism. Rep. Rashida Tlaib blamed Israel for the hospital explosion and called for a ceasefire, going against President Biden's stance. The death toll from the blast is disputed, with Hamas initially reporting 500 deaths and U.S. intelligence estimating it to be between 100 and 300.
