The celebration comes as war between the Jewish state and the Palestinian terrorist group continues after Hamas launched terrorist attacks against Israel on Oct. 7. Since then, Democrats and Republicans have declared unconditional support for their Jewish allies and condemned rising antisemitism across cities and college campuses.

The Hanukkah celebration at the White House will begin at 7 p.m. EST on Monday night.
