While leaders delivered their speeches during the 80th General Assembly of the United Nations, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in the back street of the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
PALESTINE PROTEST IN THE BACK STREET OF THE UN HEADQUARTERS
The 80th General Assembly of the United Nations officially began with the speeches of the leaders. While President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also delivered his speech, pro-Palestinian demonstrations were held. Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in the back street of the United Nations Headquarters located in the Manhattan area of New York City.
THEY CALLED FOR A CEASEFIRE
The protesters tried to make their voices heard to the leaders attending the United Nations General Assembly, especially U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The protesters chanted slogans like "Free Gaza, Free Palestine" and called for a ceasefire as soon as possible. The photos of children and women who lost their lives in Palestine carried by the demonstrators drew attention.
In the area where the protesters were located, heavy security measures were taken by the police, and they were not allowed to approach near UN 1st Avenue.
TENSION ROSE WITH THE INTERVENTION OF A PRO-ISRAEL PERSON
The tension suddenly rose when a pro-Israel person came to the protesters and intervened. The tension eased after the police issued a warning. Protests are expected to continue in New York, which has a busy diplomatic traffic during the 80th General Assembly of the United Nations.
