A group of Biden administration staffers held a vigil outside the White House on Wednesday night, calling for a ceasefire in the Israel–Hamas conflict.

The vigil, organized by a self-described interfaith group of political appointees, administration staffers, and civil service career staff, featured a banner reading, “President Biden, your staff demands a ceasefire,” and what appeared to be candles arranged to spell out “ceasefire.”
