Protesters gathered Monday at Union Square in New York City to demonstrate against Israel's ongoing war in the Gaza Strip and express solidarity with Palestinians.

Waving Palestinian flags, they chanted slogans such as "Free, free Palestine” and "Gaza is watching us,” Anadolu reported. 

The demonstration later moved into the metro station.

"Gaza! Gaza!" protesters chanted as they flooded the subway station.

New York Police violently clashed with the protesters. Officers also made several arrests.  

Pro-Palestine protesters have regularly rallied in US cities to vent their anger at Israel’s brutal onslaught on Gaza. 

They are opposed to Washington’s military support for the Tel Aviv regime. They have demanded that the administration of President Joe Biden cut military support for Israel. 

Jeffery Sachs, a world-renowned economist and professor at Columbia University, told the Tehran Times last month that students are protesting the murderous brutality of Israel in Gaza, the complicity of the United States in that brutality, and the urgent need for a sovereign State of Palestine alongside the state of Israel. 

More than 37,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched war on Gaza on October 7.
