Washington: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived here on Monday on a five-day visit to the US. He is scheduled to meet President Joe Biden on Wednesday and address a joint session of both houses of the US Congress. Earlier on Monday, protesters from Kodiband staged a massive demonstration in front of the hotel where Netanyahu has landed. On Tuesday, hundreds of protesters staged a sit-in in front of the house of Congress representatives, several people were arrested after the police repeatedly asked them to leave.

Members of Jewish-Voice-for-Peace also began a sit-in around the circular Capitol building, including many Jews, members of Jewish-Voice-for-Peace. All of them wore red T-shirts that read 'Not-in-our-name' (We are not with him (murder)). They clapped and chanted 'Let Gaza live'. Despite repeated requests from Parliament marshals, they did not stop and were eventually arrested and handcuffed behind their backs.

Saugartis, a woman involved in these demonstrations, traveled from New York to Washington with her two daughters. She said that once I was in Gaza and I saw the devastation happening there. Although the police arrested her too, she said that this should not happen again, that is, this should not happen to anyone.

These protesters want an immediate halt to arms aid to Israel and say, 'We are not focusing on Netanyahu, he is just an outward symptom of the 'disease'.' Those who talk of a ceasefire during the supply of arms to Israel are talking nonsense. However, it is not known how many people were arrested.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump said that he is going to meet Netanyahu on Friday. Before this, the Israeli Prime Minister is also scheduled to meet senior Pentagon officials on Thursday.

Observers say that say whatever you want, but it is now becoming clear that the US and Western European countries are committed to expel Arabs (Palestinians) from Gaza and the West Bank. Calls to 'stop the war' and maintain 'peace' are outward pretenses. The Western world has 'pledged' to strengthen its 'foot-board' (Israel) to enter the Middle East by expelling Arabs from Gazapat and the West-Bank. In such a situation, if Trump becomes the President (which is quite likely), then nothing is 'impossible' in the Middle East and Eastern Taiwan.
