Protesters calling for Sen. Elizabeth Warren to push for a Gaza cease-fire block a Boston bridge
BOSTON (AP) — Demonstrators seeking a cease-fire in Gaza blocked traffic for more than two hours on the Boston University bridge during rush hour. The group of about 100 people chanted “Cease-fire now!” during the protest Thursday morning that came more than five weeks after the Hamas-led attacks in Israel on Oct. 7 amid an ongoing Israeli ground offensive in Gaza. Activists demanded that Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren support an immediate cease-fire and use her influence to stop the Israeli government’s military action. She had no immediate comment. The protest was organized by a Boston Jewish group, IfNotNow, and dispersed by mid-morning.
