Speaker Johnson Calls Idea of Gaza Ceasefire ‘Outrageous’ at Pro-Israel Rally
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and other members of Congress spoke at a pro-Israel rally at the National Mall in Washington DC on Tuesday, where demonstrators made clear their opposition to a ceasefire in Gaza.
Johnson called the idea of a ceasefire “outrageous,” prompting a chant of “no ceasefire” from the crowd. “Israel will cease their counteroffensive when Hamas ceases to be a threat to the Jewish state,” Johnson said.
The rally was a bipartisan affair, featuring speeches from Democratic members of Congress, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY). Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was spotted in the crowd draped in an Israeli flag.
