A pro-Palestine demonstration has closed the expressway of the Seattle -Tacoma International Airport.Traffic is at a standstill on the road into the airport since 3:00 p.m., airport officials say.Protestors are waving Palestinian flags and a banner that reads "OUR TAXES ARE FUNDING GENOCIDE."This demonstration has been timed with others in major cities around the U.S.
Protestors have been calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war for several months, one that was approved only three weeks ago by the United Nations, before being rejected by Hamas this weekend. Following the Hamas invasion of Israel in Oct. 2023, the Israeli Defense Force launched a retaliatory invasion of the Gaza Strip.This comes just days after an Iranian drone strike against Israel.It is not known how long the demonstration will last or when traffic will get moving again.
