Events are being held throughout the United States to mark the first anniversary of the Hamas-led October 7 attack and the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza.
US President Joe Biden lit a candle Monday at a Jewish ceremony of mourning to mark a year since Hamas’s attacks on Israel, as he and Democratic Presidential Candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, stepped up their calls for peace in the Middle East.
