Chanting “no war in Iran,” about 150 demonstrators marched from City Hall to Rittenhouse Square on a steamy Saturday afternoon to protest U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran and call for an end to the Gaza conflict.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, riding a wave of public support for the Iran war and its achievements, could feel he has more space to move toward ending the war in Gaza, something his far-right governing partners oppose.
