Massive Pro-Palestinian Rally Shuts Down Brooklyn Bridge, Demands Cease-Fire

Pro-Palestinian protesters in New York City forced the closure of the Brooklyn Bridge as they gathered to demonstrate against Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza. Thousands of protesters held signs and waved Palestinian flags, calling for an end to the conflict and criticizing Israel's actions. The demonstration was one of several pro-Palestinian rallies in the city, with previous protests taking place in Times Square and Grand Central Terminal. The closure of the iconic bridge comes as the war between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announcing the expansion of ground operations into Gaza.
