Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters have descended on Washington for a “day of rage” over the war in Gaza.
The protests come before Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a joint session of the US Congress in a bid to bolster support for his country.

But more than 30 Democratic lawmakers said they will not attend, including influential former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
