Protestors wearing red clothes surrounded building with 2-mile-long red banner symbolising Biden's 'red line' of Israeli invasion of Rafah.Hundreds of demonstrators surround the White House perimeter with a red banner symbolising President Biden's 'red line' about Israel going into Gaza's Rafah, during a pro-Palestine protest in Washington, US, June 8, 2024.
Chanting"From DC to Palestine, we are the red line," the demonstrators held a long banner on Saturday scribbled with the names of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces, as the war enters its ninth month.The White House said in May that a deadly Israeli strike on Rafah did not cross a"red line" that Biden had seemingly set two months earlier when asked about a potential invasion of the southern Gazan city.
"This 'red line' in his rhetoric is rubbish... it shows his hypocrisy and his cowardice," Mahdawi told AFP.Pro-Palestinian demonstrators march on 17th Street NW near the White House in Washington, DC, on June 8, 2024 to protest against Israel's actions in Gaza.Nursing assistant Tala McKinney, 25, said:"I think we all hope it's going to stop soon but clearly our president is not living up to the words he is speaking to our country. It's outrageous.
The White House stepped up security with an additional anti-scale perimeter fence ahead of the demonstration, which saw chartered buses ferrying in people from as far afield as Maine and Florida.
