NEW YORK – Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Manhattan, New York City, protesting against the renewed Israeli air campaign against Gaza and the United States’ support for it.
Protesters on Tuesday marched through Times Square while holding up signs, and chanting slogans against the war and in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
They expressed outrage at Washington’s support for the Tel Aviv regime as it has continued to supply weapons to Israel and has openly backed the war in Gaza.
One of the speakers at the event asserted that the Palestinians will win because this war has another front, adding that the front is not just in Gaza, but in New York, London, Paris and all the cities around the world.
A similar demonstration took place on the same day outside the White House in Washington D.C.
More than 400 Palestinian civilians have been killed and over 560 others injured after Israel resumed its airstrikes on Gaza early Tuesday, exactly two months after a ceasefire began in the besieged territory.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, at least 174 children were among the victims.
