The pro-Palestinian protests that erupted in Washington, D.C., during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a joint session of Congress drew condemnation on Thursday from political leaders. It was the latest inflection point as pro-Palestinaian protests have continued to pop up around the United States since Israel responded to the Hamas attack in October. The war has continued in the Gaza Strip, with hostages still in Hamas captivity.
” The protest on Wednesday was originally led by the ANSWER Coalition and grew to thousands ahead of Netanyahu's speech. Waving flags and chanting, the protesters clashed with Capitol Police at barricades that had been set up near the Capitol and then grew more heated when they reached Union Station, a few blocks away.
