The American Jewish movement IfNotNow announced that about 50 pro-Palestine and Middle East ceasefire demonstrators were arrested in the US Congress office buildings, where organizing protests is prohibited.

The demonstrators said on the social media network “X” (formerly Twitter): “Hundreds of American Jews and their allies are gathering in the Capitol building today, demanding an immediate ceasefire. The organization revealed that 49 of its members have just been arrested.

It called on Jewish leaders in Congress to stop this bloodshed.”

Representatives of the organization wrote on social networks: “Every bomb dropped on Gaza threatens to kill two million Palestinian civilians and two hundred Israeli hostages. It is clear that more bloodshed is not the solution.”

The activists warned: "The American policy is to starve the people of Gaza, bomb them, and expel them from their homes.
