Protesters calling for ceasefire in Israel-Hamas war arrested in US Capitol building

Protesters rallied in Washington DC, calling on the Biden administration and Congress to press for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. About 200 demonstrators, many from the group Jewish Voice for Peace, filled the rotunda of the Cannon House office building on Capitol Hill and staged a sit-in, calling for an end to bombing and to ‘let Gaza live’. A number of arrests were made by US Capitol police who handcuffed protesters and escorted them out of the building
