A few thousand attend pro-Israel rally in Washington, DC

A few thousand demonstrators convene in Washington, DC’s Nationals Park baseball stadium for a pro-Israel rally.

“The energy in the air is palpable,” Michael Herzog, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, tells the crowd. “All of us, all of you, are a clear expression of the unity, solidarity and resilience of the Jewish people.”

Organized by the Jewish Federations of North America, which represents over 350 Jewish communities, the evening’s “Stand Together” event comes around one year after the umbrella organization’s massive, nearly 300,000 person rally on the National Mall last year – a powerful show of support for Israel in wake of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught.
