‘How I Met Your Mother' star Cristin Milioti urges fans to join protest against 'Israeli' war crimes
American actress Cristin Milioti, best known for her role as Tracy McConnell in the popular sitcom How I Met Your Mother, took to her Instagram story to share a call-to-action for an emergency mass march in New York City, demanding an end to 'Israel's' war crimes and the US's role in enabling them. The post, originally shared by organizers from the ANSWER Coalition, announces the protest will be held on Saturday, August 16, at 2 PM (GMT-4) on the steps of the New York Public Library in Bryant Park. The callout condemns what it describes as the 'US-Israeli blockade of Gaza' for creating a 'devastating hunger crisis' that is killing Palestinians through starvation and malnutrition. It also accuses US President Donald Trump of greenlighting what it calls Israel's 'starvation regime' and denounces US-backed entities for 'weaponizing hunger' rather than ending it. The statement further alleges that Washington is now working with 'Israel' to condition aid on its plans for 'full occupation' of Gaza. 'Now is the time to take to the streets,' the post urges, calling for a united front from 'people from all walks of life' to stand against genocide and stop the 'US-funded, Israeli famine'. Milioti's public endorsement adds her name to a growing list of actors, musicians, and public figures who have used their platforms to express solidarity with Gaza and call out Israeli policies.

The Senate head spoke about the efforts of His Majesty King Abdullah II to resolve regional conflicts, stressing that the two-state solution, based on international legitimacy resolutions guaranteeing the Palestinian people's rights, is the only avenue to restore peace and stability and end the spiral of violence in the region. He reiterated Jordan's firm rejection of the forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, noting that His Majesty has repeatedly, clearly and firmly rejected any proposal to resolve the Palestinian issue at the expense of Jordan's constants and higher national interest.
