Anti-war activists gathered in Times Square, NYC, and outside the White House to protest recent US and British strikes targeting Houthi military sites in Yemen. The demonstrators expressed concerns about the potential widening of the conflict in Gaza due to these actions. The strikes, launched in response to Houthi attacks on Red Sea ships, were perceived by the movement as supporting Palestinians facing siege in Gaza. Chants of “hands off the Middle East,” “hands off Yemen,” and “hands off Gaza” echoed in Times Square. Protesters near the White House waved Palestinian flags and banners calling for a free Palestine and an end to bombing in Yemen. The protests were organized by groups like ANSWER, denouncing the strikes as a major escalation with the potential to spark a broader regional war. The Gaza conflict, triggered by a Hamas attack on Israel in October, has sparked nationwide protests in the US.
