Protesters demanding the release of hostages taken by Hamas planned a rally in New York's Times Square on Thursday, as President Joe Biden faces mounting pressure to leverage every diplomatic tool to secure the freedom of any American captives. Thursday's protest in Times Square, organized by the nonprofit Israeli American Council, was expected to draw hundreds of demonstrators and many officials, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams. It comes as Americans across the U.S. are taking to the streets on a near-daily basis to protest on behalf of Israel or the Palestinian people, with bitter divisions re-emerging over the decades-long conflict in the Middle East.
