The Brooklyn Bridge in New York was closed on Saturday due to a rally in support of the Palestinians, RT reports. The RT telegram channel publishes footage from the scene.
The number of participants is estimated to be in the thousands, many carrying Palestinian flags. A similar event took place in Los Angeles.
Earlier it was reported that in New York police detained more than 300 citizens protesting against support for Israel. The rally takes place in the Grand Central station building. As noted, more than 300 Jews and their associates were detained, and the riots became the largest in the city since the Iraq War. Rallies also took place in France and Germany, and an increase in the number of anti-Semitic actions was reported.
On Saturday night, the UN General Assembly adopted a draft resolution on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, proposed by a number of Arab countries and calling for an immediate truce. 120 countries voted in support of the document, 14 were against, 45 abstained. The resolution condemns violence against civilians on both sides and calls for an immediate, reliable, sustainable humanitarian truce and a subsequent cessation of hostilities. The resolution also calls for the “immediate, unconditional release of civilians illegally held captive.” Israel’s permanent representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said the organization had “lost legitimacy” following the adoption of the resolution.
