Biden staffers renew Gaza ceasefire demands at White House vigil
Government employees and political appointees from across President Joe Biden’s administration renewed their calls for a ceasefire in Gaza during a vigil outside the White House on Wednesday night.
In a statement shared with The Independent, members of a coalition of more than 800 staffers said they stood outside the White House “on the seventh night of Hanukkah and as we get ready to celebrate Christmas and the winter holidays with our loved ones to make clear that we cannot stay silent about the atrocities that are continuing in Gaza.”
“We were horrified by the brutal October in Gaza and displaced over a million more,” they wrote.
