Thousands gathered in New York’s Times Square to protest Israel’s recent attacks on Gaza, which broke a ceasefire and killed over 400 Palestinians. Pro-Palestinian groups, including Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), led the demonstration, condemning both Israel’s actions and President Donald Trump’s pro-Israel stance.
Tensions briefly flared when a small pro-Israel group staged a counter-protest, but police maintained control, and the event remained largely peaceful. Protesters later marched to the New York Public Library, calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza before dispersing without incident.
