Global Day of Action for Gaza Sees Massive Turnout, New York Protests Under Trump Administration

Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide participated in the Global Day of Action for Gaza yesterday, demanding an immediate end to the ongoing Israeli occupation’s actions in Gaza, which many are calling a genocide. Demonstrations took place in major cities across the globe, with a significant gathering reported in New York City.

Anti-Israel activists and hassidic Jews clashed outside the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters in Brooklyn on Thursday night, as protesters gathered outside the site to demonstrate against a visit by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Six people were taken into custody, the New York Police Department said on Sunday.

In New York, a large crowd assembled to voice their solidarity with the Palestinian people and condemn the continued violence. This year’s demonstration in New York carried particular significance as it unfolded under the administration of President Donald Trump, whose populist policies have drawn both fervent support and strong opposition. Participants emphasized the need for international accountability and an end to the conflict, particularly in light of the current political climate.

Organizers of the Global Day of Action called for governments worldwide to take concrete steps to pressure Israel to halt its military operations in Gaza, end the occupation, and ensure humanitarian access to the beleaguered territory. The protests served as a powerful expression of global solidarity with Palestinians and a condemnation of the ongoing crisis.

Similar demonstrations, ranging in size and scope, were reported in numerous other cities internationally, underscoring the widespread concern and demand for a resolution to the situation in Gaza. The collective message from these global actions was a clear call for justice, an end to violence, and a lasting peace in the region
