New York City has been a hotbed for anti-Israel sentiment over the past few days.
Yesterday, hundreds of demonstrators flooded Times Square, blaming the Jewish State rather than Hamas for the collapse of the fragile ceasefire. On Saturday, more than 700 protesters marched through Manhattan supporting Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University agitator detained by ICE earlier this month. The protests featured masked individuals displaying Hamas flags and harassing pro-Israel counter-protesters who carried photos of hostages still held in Gaza.
The IDF launched a decisive series of precision strikes against Hamas terrorist infrastructure across Gaza on Tuesday after intelligence revealed the terror group was actively preparing new attacks on Israeli civilians.
The White House says it stands behind Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision, who calls the new assault “just the beginning” unless all the hostages are released.
“President Trump has made it clear: Hamas, the Houthis, Iran, all those who seek to terrorize not just Israel but the United States of America, will see a price to pay,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday. “All hell will break loose.”
