Israeli-Americans and supporters of Israel rally in Washington, DC to protest antisemitism | LIVE

Israeli-Americans and supporters of Israel gathered at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday to show their support towards Israel and protest antisemitism triggered worldwide amid the ongoing conflict with Hamas militants in the Gaza strip.

Sharing words of encouragement and inspiration to protesters, Israeli President Isaac Herzog phoned in from Israel. "Never again," he cried, reflecting on the brutal attack committed by Hamas militants on Oct. 7 — which left more than 1,200 dead in south Israel.

American immigrants, families of Hamas hostages and special guests from Israel — including speakers and musicians — took the podium throughout the event to share tales of Israel's past and stories of the harrowing reality experienced by the Jewish masses during the Second World War.

US Congressman Ritchie Torres and Stranger Things' star Brett Gelman, too, made an appearance. In his speech, Gelman said he had friends "turn their backs" on him since the conflict broke out, emphasizing a feeling of betrayal.

Following Hamas's unprecedented attack five weeks ago, Israel vowed destruction of the opposing militant force — which operates out of Gaza.
