According to the Secret Service, over 30 individuals were apprehended during several Monday afternoon demonstrations outside the White House.
The protesters were advocating for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Global Outcry Grows for Immediate Cease-Fire in Israel-Hamas Conflict
In between an increasing battle between Israel and Hamas, global calls for an urgent stopping of fights are getting stronger, as concerned individuals worldwide seek to alleviate the suffering of innocent civilians trapped in the center of the crisis, as per Yahoo.
Recent rallies and protests, including the "Day of Action for Palestine" in Washington, DC, have drawn attention to the urgent crisis resolution.
The director of development for the American Muslims for Palestine, Mohamad Habehh, stressed the importance of a cease-fire, saying, "We need innocent people to stop being killed."
He criticized the Biden administration's reluctance to act decisively in seeking peace, as it seems more inclined to condemn those calling for an end to the violence.
Ayah Ziyadeh, the advocacy director for the same organization, accused the US government of enabling genocide and pushing Israeli propaganda.
She, too, called for an immediate cease-fire, highlighting the dire situation on the ground. Ziyadeh described the ongoing conflict as "mass murder" and "ethnic cleansing."
The "Day of Action for Palestine" rally, organized by the American Muslims for Palestine, saw over 10,000 pro-Palestinian protesters in the nation's capital.
The protesters, comprising Palestinians, Americans, some Jewish individuals, and more, marched through the streets, waving Palestinian flags and gathering outside the White House to demand an end to the violence.
Despite the rain pouring down on the demonstrators, their determination to see Gaza freed and the war concluded between Israel and Hamas remained unwavering, according to Fox News.

Protesters Demand Cease-Fire on Gaza-Israel Tension
Protests remain as participants express their deep sorrow over the loss of lives, particularly the innocent children who have tragically fallen victim to the violence.
In a passionate statement, "Haitham" underscored the urgency for the United States government to intervene and end the ongoing war, labeling it as a tragic event.
Another protester, "Meziane," echoed the sentiment for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, emphasizing the protection of civilian lives.
Regardless of Palestinian health authorities, the toll of the war has been devastating, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives and numerous others wounded, including many children.
While President Biden has expressed unwavering support for Israel, promising that the US "has Israel's back," activists demand that he take a more active role in de-escalating the conflict.
They call on him to declare a cease-fire and ensure the safety of innocent civilians in Gaza.
The calls for peace extend beyond the United States, with Iran's foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, warning about possible preemptive action if Israel moves closer to a ground offensive in Gaza.
Amirabdollahian's statements reflect a pattern of escalating rhetoric from Iran, which provides support to Hamas and Hezbollah.
The situation has reached a critical juncture, with over a million people fleeing their homes in Gaza as they anticipate an Israeli invasion to eliminate Hamas' leadership. Aid groups warn of a potential humanitarian crisis should a ground offensive occur.
The United Nations is engaged in discussions with Israel, Egypt, and other stakeholders to facilitate the delivery of aid to Gaza through the Rafah crossing. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's involvement has been instrumental in this process.
The UN's humanitarian chief, Martin Griffiths, is hopeful that progress can be made soon to alleviate the suffering in the region. As the conflict continues, the urgency for a cease-fire grows stronger.
Calls for peace resonate from rallies in Washington, DC, to international diplomatic efforts. The world watches and waits for a resolution to end the violence and suffering plaguing the Gaza-Israel conflict, Mail Online reported.
