New York City is witnessing rallies and protests as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the city to attend the United Nations General Assembly. Various groups have announced demonstrations in several areas of Manhattan.
A video circulating on September 23 showed an Israeli television reporter delivering a live broadcast from a New York street before a person appeared behind him, raising a large Palestinian flag in front of the camera.
The Palestinian flag remained visible behind the reporter for part of the broadcast before the video spread widely across social media platforms, as interest grew in protests linked to Netanyahu’s visit.

The incident comes as New York prepares for a series of demonstrations coinciding with Netanyahu’s presence in the city, including protests in Manhattan and areas near the United Nations headquarters.
