The Israel-Hamas war has led to the loss of thousands of lives in the Gaza Strip. Pro-Palestinians advocacy groups are pushing for a ceasefire, putting pressure on world leaders including President Joe Biden.
Marches are planned across the country and world today, calling for a ceasefire and ending what they’re calling genocide in Gaza stemming from the Israel-Hamas war. Advocacy groups such as Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition and Shut it Down 4 Palestine Coalition have both proposed the global day of action. "End the genocide! Hands off Rafah!" said Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, said in a news release.
The group was founded in 1987 by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, a Palestinian refugee living in Gaza, during the first intifada, or uprising, which was marked by widespread protests against Israel’s occupation.Hamas is the Arabic acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement, and a recognition of the group’s roots and early ties to one of the Sunni world’s most prominent groups, the Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in the 1920s.
