To increase awareness about the current hardships faced by Palestinians, as well as advocating for an end to the Middle East conflict, hundreds of pro-Palestine supporters gathered in Seattle’s Capitol Hill Friday afternoon. The event was organized by community groups and attended by individuals from various backgrounds.

Held at Cal Anderson Park, the rally attracted a large gathering. Many carried banners, flags, and signs with messages promoting peace and justice. The speakers at the event emphasized the significance of raising awareness about the Middle East conflict and its impact on Palestinians. They also stressed the importance of achieving a resolution that upholds the rights and dignity of all parties involved.
