"Striking Actors and Hollywood Producers Halt Negotiations Amid Safety Concerns"
SAG-AFTRA has canceled pickets in New York and Los Angeles on Friday due to safety concerns unrelated to their ongoing strike. The cancellation comes as Hamas calls for worldwide pro-Palestine demonstrations on the same day. Authorities in both cities have stated that there are no credible or specific threats, but precautions will be taken to ensure public safety. Talks between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP have been suspended after failing to reach a deal.
