"What we want and what we demand is a ceasefire now," said Mahdi Bray, national director of the American Muslim Alliance. The deep-rooted Israeli-Palestinian conflict reignited on Oct. 7 when scores of fighters from Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, crossed into Israel, killing at least 1,400 people.
