The rally was organized by the Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, which described it as "an opportunity for all Americans to come together in solidarity with the people of Israel to demonstrate our commitment to America’s most important ally" in the region.

Tuesday's rally comes amid global tensions over Israel's deadly assault on Gaza, which began after the Oct. 7 attacks from Hamas left 1,200 dead and more than 240 hostages taken. The war, now in its sixth week, has killed more than 11,000 Palestinians, wounded thousands and left much of northern Gaza's already tenuous infrastructure in ruins, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

The nation's capital was also the site of a large pro-Palestine rally earlier this month, when thousands gathered Nov. 4 in a show of support and calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, one of many pro-Palestine rallies held around the world.
