This newspaper wrote: During this day, several demonstrations were held, the largest of which took place in the streets of Manhattan and blocked the movement of cars and people. Tensions broke out between police officers and protesters after dark in the Upper East Side area (a neighborhood in Manhattan), and twelve protesters were detained for several hours.
The demonstration was organized by several pro-Palestinian groups, including Jewish Voice for Peace. These gatherings were usually peaceful, but after a group of protesters moved from the Grand Central Terminal to the northern area of ​​the city, the atmosphere became inflamed.
One of the female protesters, wearing a black headscarf and a scarf tied around her shoulders, was holding up a placard in support of peace when a police officer handcuffed her.
According to police, the clashes broke out after a demonstration near the United Nations headquarters disrupted traffic on Thursday morning. 25 people were arrested with the intervention of the police.
A video posted on social media by Jewish Voice for Peace shows a line of protesters blocking traffic through the tunnel on 48th Street.
Since the attacks of Hamas against the positions of the Israeli regime on October 7, many demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people have been held in New York City.
According to local health officials, the war in Gaza has resulted in the martyrdom of more than 41,000 Palestinians.
