...NEW YORK, USA - JUNE 26, 2025: Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched through the streets of New York on Thursday, June 26, protesting Israel's military offensive in Gaza and denouncing continued U.S. military and financial support for Israel. Waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans, the crowd called for an immediate cease-fire and demanded that the U.S. government halt arms shipments to Israel. Tensions escalated during the rally when confrontations broke out between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators. Police intervened, making several arrests as the situation grew volatile. Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing nearly 56,300 Palestinians, most of them women and children. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
