Syracuse, N.Y. — Hundreds of people rallied Friday evening in downtown Syracuse for a cease-fire in the Middle East and an end to United States military aid for Israel.
People gathered around 6 p.m. next to the ice rink in Clinton Square, where speakers called for an end to the conflict in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza that has killed thousands since the Oct. 7 surprise attack by the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hamas and other organizations on southern Israel.
