Supporters of Iran and Palestine gathered in Washington Square Park, New York City, to protest US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Demonstrators urged an end to the Gaza attacks and carried banners like “Free Palestine, Free Iran” and “Stop the genocide.” A pro-Israel counter-protest also took place, with police ensuring both remained peaceful.
Referring to the recent 12-day conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the US, protesters called for a permanent Middle East ceasefire and urged the US to abandon support for Israeli war policies ahead of Netanyahu’s upcoming White House visit.
