CHICAGO — Leaders of four Muslim organizations say they’re expecting upwards of 100,000 demonstrators to take part in a number of protests during the Democratic National Convention.

Their push is to get President Biden to arrange a permanent ceasefire and work toward a Palestinian state before he leaves office.

“The president has failed once again to really bring peace and ceasefire. He was able to send quite a bit of weapons to Israel, 2,000 pounds of bombs, but he could not send crates of food and medicine,” said Oussama Jammal with the US Council of Muslim Organizations.
