Dozens of US government employees will go on a hunger strike on Thursday to denounce President Joe Biden's policy of supporting Israel. The group, which calls itself "Federals United for Peace," consists of dozens of government employees.

Federal employees participating in the strike are expected to report to their offices dressed in black, or wearing the keffiyeh or other symbols of Palestinian solidarity. A strike organized by the same group - earlier this month - sparked strong reactions in Washington, where national security officials from both parties (Republican and Democratic) criticized their protests.
