The March for Israel was a pro-Israel demonstration that took place at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on November 14, 2023. The rally was organized by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CoP) and the Jewish Federations of North America in solidarity with Israel during the Gaza war.
Initially, the number of attendees was predicted to be 60,000. Event organizers said the final turnout was much higher, estimating that 290,000 people attended the rally and an additional 250,000 joined via livestream. Organizers said the March for Israel was "the largest pro-Israel gathering in US history" and "the largest Jewish gathering in US history."
The stated goals of the rally were to support Israel, call for the release of hostages taken by Hamas, and to combat antisemitism.
