Largest Pro-Israel Rally in U.S. History Held in Washington, D.C.

Over 290,000 Attendees Show Solidarity Amid Ongoing Israel-Hamas Conflict

  • Over 290,000 people attended the 'March for Israel' in Washington, D.C., organized by the Jewish Federations of North America, making it the largest pro-Israel event in U.S. history.
  • Speakers at the rally included celebrities such as Debra Messing and Michael Rapaport, as well as politicians like Chuck Schumer and Ritchie Torres.
  • About 900 attendees from Detroit were left stranded at Dulles International Airport due to a 'deliberate and malicious walk-off' by bus drivers who were supposed to transport them to the rally.
  • The rally was held in response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with attendees calling for the release of hostages held by Hamas and condemning rising antisemitism.
  • Despite the transportation issues, the rally proceeded peacefully with attendees showing solidarity for Israel and the Jewish community.
