Multifaith Event Planned outside White House to Call for Gaza Ceasefire

IQNA – A multifaith event is planned to be organized outside the White House in Washington, DC, to demand an end to the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

On Wednesday, March 6, Muslim, Christian, and Jewish leaders will lead the “Action 4 Ceasefire” in Gaza at Lafayette Park outside the White House.

The noon event will feature a multifaith delegation returning from Palestine.

With the Islamic holy month of Ramadan approaching on March 10 or 11, and the Israeli regime having designated it as the possible start date for its full-scale invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza, multi-faith organizers believe that this moment calls for Americans to draw on the power of faith to escalate and resist the normalization of the mass slaughter of Palestinians.

Co-sponsors of the event include the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Christians for Ceasefire, and a delegation of faith leaders who are returning from visiting Palestinian religious, political, and NGO leaders in the West Bank.

The Gaza Strip has been facing a genocidal Israeli war since an Oct. 7. The Israeli onslaught has killed at least 30,228 Palestinians and injured 70,457 others.
