NEW YORK, December 8, 2024 (WAFA) – Hundreds of protesters surrounded the Park Lane Hotel in New York on Saturday, where former Israeli War Minister Yoav Gallant was staying, to condemn his role in the murder of thousands of Palestinian civilians during the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.

The demonstrators voiced outrage over Gallant’s involvement in the violent assault on Gaza, demanding accountability for the bloodshed carried out by the Israeli army. 

They also criticized the U.S. government for allowing Gallant to visit New York, despite a warrant for his arrest issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for his role in war crimes.

The protesters displayed images of Palestinian children who were killed during the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, along with placards calling for Gallant’s arrest and prosecution by the ICC.

Several protest activities were held outside the hotel, with chants denouncing Gallant as an unwelcome figure in the city.
