Washington, Nov 25 (UNI) Pro-Palestinian activists protested in a Manhattan shopping district, the Palestinian Youth Movement said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Protestors take over NY’s commercial district a day after actionists disrupted the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to demand a permanent ceasefire & end to the siege. It’s not Black Friday, it’s the People’s Day for Palestine,” the movement said.
The organization posted a video of a protest near a central department store. The activists also marched through the streets of Manhattan.
The escalation of the conflict between Israel and Palestinian group Hamas started on October 7. On Friday morning, the sides launched a four-day truce to exchange some of the prisoners and hostages. The deal also committed Israel to allowing daily supply of humanitarian aid and fuel to the Gaza Strip.
