Dozens Of Protesters In NYC Call For Israeli Hostage Release And Netanyahu To Resign
Israelis for Peace and their supporters are gathering in Union Square, NYC, on January 14, 2024, to demand a bilateral ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The protesters are speaking out against the death and suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, including the displacement of 1.8 million, and are calling for an immediate bilateral ceasefire and hostage deal. The speakers are referencing solidarity with the large protests that took place in Tel Aviv on January 13, 2024, calling for the Netanyahu government to resign, and they are decrying the dehumanization of both Palestinians and Israelis. The Gaza Ministry of Health reports that more than 23,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed since October 7, 2023. (Photo by Melissa Bender/NurPhoto)
