| 2025-05-06 |
| [IsraelTimes] Pro-Palestinian protesters are gathered about a block away from the Met Gala in Manhattan as the area immediately around the museum is been cordoned off by police. Organizers calling for protesters to “surround” the Met in social media posts claimed the Manhattan institution is “tied to genocide in every way possible.” The hardline Within Our Lifetime organization, the group at the center of New York City’s most volatile anti-Israel protests, also called out celebrities for continuing to “flaunt their extreme wealth and materialism” as residents of Gaza suffer in the ongoing war with Israel. Video clips shared on social media show some protesters hopping over barricades as they marched in the rain through Central Park. Other clips show protesters met by vocal counterprotesters supporting Israel. New York City police say no arrests had been made. It’s the second year in a row that protests have taken place outside the gala.
