Worldwide protests in response to Mideast conflict
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators take to the streets across North America
Thousands of Pro-Palestinian demonstrators took to the streets across North America on Saturday, as Israel's military operation towards Gaza continued. Demonstrations took place in cities such as New York, Boston, Washington D.C. and Montreal.
The protesters waved Palestinians flags and shouted slogans such as "Freedom for Gaza." Many of the demonstrators wore Palestinian symbols such as Keffiyeh scarves.
President Joe Biden has expressed support for Israel's military operation, but has also signaled concern over the loss of Palestinian life in Gaza. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has urged Hamas and Israel to deescalate tensions.
