About 50 activists calling for a cease-fire in the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/israel-hamas-war/?itid=lk_inline_manual_2" target=_blank>Israel-Gaza war</a> were arrested Tuesday after protesting in the Senate cafeteria around lunchtime.

As of 1:15 p.m. Tuesday, Capitol Police spokeswoman Brianna Burch said about 50 people had been arrested inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building under a D.C. code that prohibits crowding, obstructing or incommoding, which is often cited in the arrest of protesters.

The protesters, organized by a group called Christians for a Free Palestine, were also demanding that Congress end the U.S. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/06/us-weapons-israel-gaza/" target=_blank>sale of military weapons</a> to Israel and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/23/budget-deal-unrwa-gaza/" target=_blank>restore funding</a> to U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the United Nations agency that distributes most of the food, medicine and basic services to Palestinians in Gaza and<b> </b>across the Middle East. They held signs that said “WOE TO YOU WHO SLAY THE HUNGRY” and “BREAK BREAD NOT BODIES.”

“I want to loudly proclaim that my Christian faith calls me to challenge Christian Zionism and stand in solidarity with Palestine,” Rev. Naomi Washington-Leapheart, a national leader with Christians for a Free Palestine, said in a news release.

The nation’s capital has seen a steady drumbeat of protests over the Israel-Gaza war, particularly from those demanding a cease-fire. Protesters have marched through the streets, staged hunger strikes, held vigils, interrupted congressional hearings and been arrested on Capitol grounds. Protesters are frequently arrested at the cease-fire demonstrations on Capitol Hill, including <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/10/18/dc-protest-israel-gaza-ceasefire-jewish/" target=_blank>about 300 arrested during an October rally</a> in the rotunda of the Cannon House Office Building.
