In New York City, tensions escalated late Monday as anti-Israel protesters at New York University clashed with police in Washington Square Park, resulting in the arrest of 133 demonstrators. The protesters, including students, faculty, and outsiders, were rallying in support of Gaza at Gould Plaza. The situation intensified when protesters chased the NYPD chief into an NYU building, demanding the release of a detained woman. The police had to breach barriers set up around a pro-Gaza student encampment to make the arrests.
