A coalition of activist groups has announced a large-scale protest against Israel set to take place in New York City on Saturday. Organizers claim support from over 200 groups nationwide, with participants arriving from multiple states and Washington, DC. The demonstration is focused on drawing attention to the worsening hunger crisis in Gaza, according to statements from the organizers. The event, which is expected to be the city's largest anti-Israel protest in months, will begin at the New York Public Library near Bryant Park. The protest is backed by a diverse range of organizations, including far-left, Arab-led, anti-Zionist, and student groups. While major street protests have decreased recently, activists have been holding regular rallies in anticipation of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in New York.
