Hundreds of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza blocked traffic on Tuesday at the Port of Tacoma, Washington, where a military supply ship had recently arrived. Organizers said that they protested against the vessel based on confidential information that it was to be loaded with weapons bound for Israel. Those claims could not immediately be verified. Police said no arrests had been made.
