A crowd of demonstrators gathered Sunday outside the Israeli ambassador’s D.C. residence to memorialize the six dead Israeli hostages recovered from a Gaza tunnel the day before, echoing calls for an end to the war during the larger protests that have spread through Israel.
Carrying reprinted portraits of the six deceased hostages, many of the demonstrators expressed frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s failure to negotiate a peace deal that would lead to the release of the men, women and children kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7.
