A demonstration by pro-Palestinian protesters occurred outside the New York Stock Exchange on Monday. Despite the presence of protestors from Jewish Voices for Peace, trading was not disrupted, and no protestors made it onto the trading floor. NYSE security fenced off an area outside the building on Broad Street in lower Manhattan, where protestors chained themselves to the security fence and some exterior doors. Some protestors were arrested and removed in zip ties. The exchange limited entry to the building due to the protests, with NYPD removing the final people from the exterior security gate. Chants such as “we want housing, not genocide” and “let Gaza live” could be heard during the demonstration. The NYSE has not provided a comment on the protest. The protest stemmed from the ongoing violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with Israel conducting a military assault on Gaza following Hamas’ attack on southern Israel over a year ago. The NYSE has maintained heavy security measures since the 9/11 attacks on the nearby World Trade Center buildings.
