Over 200 Detained in Pro-Palestinian Sit-In at New York Stock Exchange

A sit-in protest against US support for Israel took place outside the New York Stock Exchange, leading to 206 arrests. The pro-Palestinian demonstration, which included Jewish activists, called for an end to US arms support for Israel and condemned Israeli actions in Gaza and Lebanon. Protesters wore red shirts reading “Stop arming Israel” and chanted slogans such as “Let Gaza live” and “Stop financing the genocide.” Some attempted to breach police barriers. Jewish groups organizing the protest reported around 500 participants, with a small pro-Israeli counter-demonstration also present.
