The Seattle Federal Building was blocked Friday morning by protestors calling for a cease-fire in Gaza amid the nearly month-old war between Israel and Hamas.
 
The Church Council of Greater Seattle said "Jewish leaders" organized the protest, but everyone was welcome. Protestors sang songs about freedom and chanted "Free, free Palestine." One protestor screamed to "keep calling Murray's office."
 
Sen. Patty Murray on Thursday called for a "humanitarian pause" in the war to "allow critical humanitarian aid to reach innocent civilians in Gaza." The Washington Senator and president pro tempore also reiterated Israel's right to defend itself.
 
After meeting with United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel “refuses a temporary cease-fire that doesn’t include a return of our hostages,” referring to some 240 people Hamas abducted during its attack.
