Pro-Palestine demonstrators stage mass protest against Netanyahu visit and US military aid to IsraelThe demonstrators focused much of their ire on the Biden administration, demanding that the president immediately cease all arms shipments to Israel. Netanyahu arrived in Washington Monday for a visit that includes meetings with President Joe Biden and a Wednesday speech before a joint session of Congress. In anticipation, police have significantly boosted security around the Capitol building and closed multiple roads for most of the week. Biden and Netanyahu are expected to meet Thursday, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the White House announcement. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he would meet with Netanyahu on Friday.
