Demonstrators pray in support of Palestinians during a rally to call for a ceasefire, in the Brooklyn borough of New York City on November 18, 2023. Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas in response to the October 7 attacks which Israeli officials say killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians in southern Israel, and saw about 240 people taken hostage. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says the death toll from the military offensive has since killed 12,000 people, including 5,000 children. (Photo by KENA BETANCUR / AFP)
