Thousands of pro-Israel demonstrators hold a rally in New York’s Times Square, calling for the release of those taken captive in the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group’s deadly onslaught on October 7.
A number of speakers address the event remotely, including US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and New York Mayor Eric Adams.
“We know, that no matter what they try to do to us, in America and in Eretz Yisrael, Am Yisrael Chai… the people of Israel live,” Schumer says.
