Speakers at the protest urged US President Joe Biden, the United Nations, and international communities to end the ongoing airstrikes and usher in a peaceful environment in both Palestine and Israel.
At least 250 Palestinians including 70 children have so far died in the ongoing Israeli bombing of Gaza. Hamas, in response, has launched rocket attacks on Tel Aviv.
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden faces global criticism for supplying arms to Israel despite the murder of dozens of Palestinian children.
