New York City witnessed a protest in front of the US Mission to the United Nations building, today, Tuesday, in protest against Washington's use of its veto power a few days ago against a draft resolution in the Security Council calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Protesters, including American liberals and Orthodox Jews, gathered in front of the US mission building to the international organization.

The protesters raised Palestinian flags and banners with slogans such as “Stop the occupation,” “Ceasefire now,” and “Resist the occupation.”

The protesters chanted slogans such as “Free Palestine,” “Stop the occupation completely,” “Give back the Palestinians their land,” “Yes to Judaism, no to Zionism,” and “Palestine will be liberated.”

The participants protested the United States' support for Israel and its use of its veto power in the UN Security Council against a draft resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

Some demonstrators prayed in front of the headquarters of the US Permanent Mission to the United Nations.

The protest, which took place under tight security measures, continued in the streets of Manhattan.

On Friday, the United States used its veto in the UN Security Council against a draft resolution calling for an “immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons” in the Gaza Strip.
