A protest march drew hundreds of demonstrators through Midtown as they opposed an upcoming speech by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the United Nations, with local student organizations lending their support to the rally. Organizers from Columbia University-affiliated groups have framed the demonstration as part of broader calls for accountability and criticism of the Israeli government’s policies. The event reflects growing campus activism over international diplomacy and human rights concerns, with participants expected to voice their opposition outside the UN headquarters. Security measures are reportedly in place amid anticipation of a high-profile address.
