US Palestine solidarity activists rally against Bennett’s visit

A meeting between Naftali Bennett and Joe Biden was delayed on Thursday amid turmoil in Afghanistan.

Washington, DC – Dozens of Palestinian rights advocates have gathered near the White House to denounce a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to Washington. Waving Palestinian flags and chanting against the occupation, the demonstrators on Thursday called on President Joe Biden to uphold his campaign promise to advance human rights globally. Biden was set to meet Bennett at 11:30 (15:30 GMT) but the bilateral talks were postponed as the White House apparently turned its attention to the situation in Kabul where two explosions killed and wounded people outside the airport.
