Over 30 protesters were arrested outside the White House after a demonstration calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The protest was led by several Jewish groups, specifically the IfNotNow Movement and Jewish Voice for Peace groups, according to ABC 7 News. Protesters were seen wearing articles of Jewish religious clothing and holding signs citing their Jewish faith as a reason to oppose the war. Demonstrators were arrested by Secret Service agents, who told the outlet the arrests were due to them crossing safety barriers or blocking entrances near the White House.

The IfNotNow Movement advertised the protest beforehand, and protesters met at Farragut Square at noon. The protest was advertised as one to "Stop Genocide of Palestinians."

The group described itself as "a movement of American Jews organizing our community to end U.S. support for Israel's apartheid system and demand equality, justice, and a thriving future for all Palestinians and Israelis."

"With every passing day, hour, and minute, the Israeli military is making good on its promise to 'open the gates of hell' on the 2 million Palestinians trapped under Israeli siege in Gaza," a notice from the Jewish Voice for Peace group read. "The loss of life over the last week has been staggering — almost too big to hold. But we must act now, because the Israeli government is plowing forward toward a fully genocidal attack on Palestinians in Gaza. We must demand a ceasefire now."
