Several masked demonstrators carried Hamas flags at an anti-Israel protest in Manhattan on Friday, while a Hezbollah flag waved above the crowd, hours after federal authorities charged an alleged Kataib Hezbollah operative of plotting attacks on Jewish community centers and a Manhattan synagogue.

The protest drew about 500 demonstrators carrying Palestinian flags to Washington Square Park, where chants of «globalize the intifada» rang out as one speaker declared Israel has no right to exist and said Palestinians would take over Israel «by any means necessary.»

Just as the protest was kicking off at around 4:30 p.m., New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the alleged terror plot by Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a commander in the Kataeb Hezbollah terrorist operation in Iraq.

«Let me be clear: antisemitism, violent extremism, and terrorism have no place in our city. This kind of hate is despicable,» Mamdani said.

ISRAEL, JEWS TARGETED WORLDWIDE AS WELL-FUNDED LEFTIST, ISLAMIST GROUPS JOIN FOR ‘NAKBA 78’ PROTESTS

Two minutes later, a starkly different scene unfolded in Lower Manhattan off W. 4th Street. The activists descended on the busy Washington Square Park with Palestinian flags, pre-printed signs and banners, transforming a corner of the park into a rally staging ground to protest the existence of the state of Israel and demand its dismantling and replacement with a state called Palestine.

Among them, a young anti-Israel demonstrator arrived, draped in the flag of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades — Hamas’s military wing — wearing it like a cape. The flag depicted a masked armed fighter beside the Dome of the Rock beneath green script in Arabic, declaring the shahada, or Muslim proclamation of faith. He also carried a flag featuring an image of Abu Obaida, the spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, who became one of the terror group’s most recognizable figures after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Israeli forces killed him in 2025.

Others followed wearing the green headbands of Hamas and carrying similar flags. Nearby, a protester carried Hezbollah’s bright yellow flag, featuring the organization’s recognizable green insignia of a stylized assault rifle incorporated into Arabic calligraphy.

The demonstration was organized by anti-Israel groups including the Muslim American Society — a powerful nonprofit whose leaders supported Mamdani’s election — and Within Our Lifetime, another local group. Protesters arrived carrying pre-made banners over their shoulders, stacks of professionally printed signs and a North Face bag filled with protest gear.

These same groups led protests at a Jewish synagogue and community center in New York City this past week, resulting in viral clashes with Jewish community members.

Based in Brooklyn, N.Y., next to an NYPD precinct, Muslim American Society of New York is a 501(c)(3) sister nonprofit of Muslim American Society. It had $782,644 in revenue in 2024, according to its last tax filing. Within Our Lifetime isn’t a nonprofit but accepts donations.

ANTI-ISRAEL AGITATORS CLASH WITH NYPD OFFICERS NEAR SYNAGOGUE

By about 5:06 p.m., Within Our Lifetime’s polarizing co-founder, Nerdeen Kiswani, emerged from the crowd at the Washington Square Arch and led chants of «Globalize the intifada! From New York to Gaza! Globalize the intifada!»

«We do not mince words here,» Kiswani told the crowd. «Yes, that also means necessarily that the state of Israel and Zionism must be abolished. I do not and will never recognize Israel’s so-called right to exist. It has no right to exist.»

Minutes later, at about 5:14 p.m., Abdullah Akl, a leader at the Muslim American Society Youth Center in Brooklyn, stood in front of a large black banner that read «GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA» in white and gold letters.

«From the river to the sea,» Akl shouted, invoking a slogan widely interpreted as calling for the elimination of Israel between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. «Palestine will be free.»

As demonstrators readied to march north through Manhattan, several participants openly waved Hamas flags above the crowd. When asked about the displays, Kiswani told Fox News Digital: «We only bring Palestinian flags.»

But the Hamas flags remained visible throughout the march, including directly behind Kiswani and Akl as demonstrators moved uptown in a tightly coordinated procession. Kiswani told Fox News Digital, «We only bring Palestinian flags.»

The Manhattan protest was one of about 736 «Nakba Day» events that 425 organizations with about $1 billion in collective revenue held across 39 cities in recent days, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. «Nakba,» the Arabic word for «catastrophe,» refers to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.

Chants throughout the evening rejected the idea of a two-state solution.

«We don’t want your two states,» demonstrators shouted, following Kiswani’s cue, as organizers moved the march route through Manhattan, past Sephora, the makeup store, on E. 14th Street.

Protesters beat drums decorated with stickers reading, «By Any Means Necessary,» while marchers carried a banner declaring, «From Gaza to Jenin. Revolution Until Victory.»

In the crowd, activists from Islamist and communist groups marched together, including Al-Awda, which advocates for the so-called «right of return» of diaspora Palestinians to Israel, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a self-declared Marxist group, and the Workers World Party, which describes itself as a «revolutionary Marxist-Leninist party inside the belly of the imperialist beast.»

A group of Orthodox Jewish demonstrators also marched beside pro-Palestinian activists carrying signs reading «Judaism condemns the state of Israel» and «Torah demands all Palestine.» Rabbi David Feldman told Fox News Digital he believed «the state of Israel may not exist at all» under Jewish law and said Palestinians should regain «every inch» of land taken from them.

About Hamas, he said, «They don’t target against Jewish people, so I don’t think that they are a terrorist group. They’re just fighting for the land, what people stole from them, that’s all. So that’s what I believe, so I don’t say anything in politics, that is all.»

But the Hamas supporters went undisturbed as they flew a flag of the terrorist group over Kiswani and Akl, clapping, just before they set out to lead the group through Manhattan in a carefully choreographed street theater that stretched into the night. This past week, another flag raised another controversy: a purple flag with the swastika symbol of Nazis, the five-point star that is a symbol of Judaism and the «NYU» acronym for New York University. The university apologized for its use.

As the demonstration snaked over Sixth Avenue, one protester, Anas Shuayb, 27, defended the Hamas imagery as «free speech» and described Hamas as a «form of resistance» to Israeli military activity in Gaza and the West Bank.

Shuayb said he voted for Trump and attended the protest partly because he opposes the U.S. war in Iran.

«I’m Palestinian and a Palestinian who voted for Trump,» Shuaib, who attended Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally in 2024, told Fox News Digital.

Shuaib said he was disappointed Trump had «fallen in the trap of Netanyahu» after campaigning against new foreign wars. «America should fight no war for Israel,» he added. «America first, not Israel first.»

The demonstration resembled a carefully staged political production more than a spontaneous protest. Organizers distributed professionally printed signs reading, «We Will Return,» a slogan referencing Palestinian demands for a mass movement to modern-day Israel.

Outside Grand Central Station on 42nd Street, Kiswani grabbed the mic and led the group in a proclamation of aggression. On Park Avenue, protesters defiantly unfurled a massive Palestinian flag stretching across much of the streets while crowds beneath it repeatedly chanted, «Globalize the intifada,»

«Palestine has the right to exist and to resist and to reclaim land and freedom by any means necessary,» Kiswani told the crowd.

As the crowd marched uptown to Time Square, Hamas and Hezbollah imagery remained visible without any effort by organizers to remove or discourage the displays.

Activists appeared highly conscious of their visual presentation. Some demonstrators marched in designer sunglasses, luxury handbags and carefully styled outfits while protest marshals coordinated crowd movement and legal observers from the ACLU monitored the route.

Akl, the leader at the Muslim American Society, wore a parody designer-style shirt reading, «The Anti-Zionist Social Club,» mimicking the aesthetic of luxury streetwear brands popular among younger activists.

Members of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization distributed flyers reading, «Victory to the Palestinian Resistance!» On the reverse side were advertisements for LGBTQ organizing meetings featuring imagery from the «Gay Liberation Front.»

The route itself appeared strategically staged for maximum visibility and dramatic effect.

Demonstrators gathered beneath the overpass outside Grand Central Terminal, where chants of «Free Palestine» and «Globalize the Intifada» echoed through the station, in one of the loudest moments of the evening. Protesters appeared at moments to push toward the terminal entrance, though they ultimately didn’t enter the station.

Later, on Park Avenue, marchers briefly surrounded vehicles in traffic while chanting «Shut it down,» creating the appearance of a street takeover as NYPD officers quietly redirected cars around the demonstration.

At several points, protesters shouted at bystanders and critics to «get off the street» while police officers continued escorting the march route through Manhattan.

Professionally printed banners reading «Revolution Until Victory» and «Resisting the Nakba Since 1948» stretched across the front lines of the march as drummers, megaphones and coordinated flag displays transformed intersections into temporary stages for chants and political theater.

Many of the demonstrators wore masks or face coverings and keffiyehs, while some acted as informal security detail, repeatedly stepping between cameras and protest leaders, blowing whistles and thrusting Palestinian flags into camera lenses to disrupt filming by journalists and bystanders.

WE CAN’T IGNORE THE DANGER FROM THOSE WHO WANT TO ‘GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA.’ WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION

By the time the final marchers arrived at Times Square for a carefully choreographed public prayer, photographed extensively by the organizers’ social media team, the evening had showcased what experts describe as a durable and politically normalized protest ecosystem in New York City, blending nonprofit institutions, socialist organizations, anti-Israel activism, legal support networks, social-media aesthetics and militant symbolism into a single coordinated street operation.

Abelardo De la Espriella asume la presidencia de Colombia en una ceremonia inédita y ante la «desobediencia civil» que lidera Gustavo Petro

Published

on



El libertario Abelardo de la Espriella asumirá este viernes en Cali la presidencia de Colombia para el periodo 2026-2030, en una ceremonia atípica que se celebrará por primera vez fuera de Bogotá y a la que asistirán el rey Felipe VI de España y al menos ocho presidentes latinoamericanos.

«Mi posesión será mucho más que una ceremonia. Será la primera demostración de que la descentralización deja de ser un discurso para convertirse en una realidad», expresó De la Espriella en X, donde destacó que su proyecto de gobierno «se construye desde las regiones, porque cuando las regiones prosperan, prospera Colombia».

Advertisement

Cali, capital del departamento Valle del Cauca y blindada para la ocasión, fue la opción escogida por el presidente electo después de que su idea de hacerlo en una guarnición militar en Popayán, capital del vecino Cauca, para homenajear a «los verdaderos héroes de la patria» en una zona marcada por el conflicto armado, fuera descartada.


Esa opción se descartó por el riesgo de una erupción del cercano volcán Puracé, actualmente en alerta naranja.

De la Espriella sucederá en el cargo al presidente Gustavo Petro, quien no reconoce su triunfo y promete liderar la oposición y la «desobediencia civil» contra el gobierno del abogado y empresario de ultraderecha.

A la ceremonia de este viernes no asistirá ningún congresista del Pacto Histórico, el partido de izquierda del que hace parte Petro, que convocó a plantones pacíficos en Bogotá, la ciudad caribeña de Barranquilla y Cali como parte de la oposición que ejercerá al próximo Gobierno.


Al nuevo mandatario colombiano le impondrá la banda presidencial el presidente del Congreso, el senador uribista Honorio Henríquez, en una sesión del Legislativo que se llevará a cabo en la Arena USC de la Universidad Santiago de Cali.


Este es un moderno complejo multipropósito con capacidad para más de 2.300 personas que cuenta con más de 800 plazas de estacionamiento, helipuerto, sistemas de sonido e iluminación de última generación y pantallas LED de alta definición.

«Mi posesión, queridos compatriotas, para que estén tranquilos, será una ceremonia austera y será la primera demostración de que la descentralización deja de ser un discurso para convertirse en una realidad», manifestó el presidente electo el domingo en sus redes sociales.


En ese sentido, De la Espriella destacó que el impacto económico de llevar la ceremonia de investidura a Cali será de 10.000 millones de pesos (unos 3,1 millones de dólares) «gracias al dinamismo que experimentarán los sectores hotelero, gastronómico, turístico, logístico, comercial y de servicios».

Para garantizar la seguridad del acto, hay «11.000 uniformados cuidando la ciudad» y «dispositivos tecnológicos cuidando el espacio aéreo», informó a EFE el alcalde de Cali, Alejandro Eder.

Sin embargo, hasta el momento no hay detalles de cómo será la ceremonia y cuál será la agenda de De la Espriella antes y después de ser investido.

La ceremonia de este viernes contará con la asistencia del rey Felipe VI, de España, y los presidentes de Argentina, Javier Milei; Ecuador, Daniel Noboa; Paraguay, Santiago Peña; Costa Rica, Laura Fernández; Panamá, José Raúl Mulino; República Dominicana, Luis Abinader; Chile, José Antonio Kast, y Honduras, Nasry Asfura.


El Salvador estará representado por el vicepresidente, Félix Ulloa, quien fue el primer invitado en llegar a Cali el miércoles y fue recibido por el alcalde de la ciudad y por la gobernadora del Valle del Cauca, Dilian Francisca Toro.

El delegado de Guatemala será la vicepresidenta Karin Herrera y también estarán el primer ministro de Curazao, Gilmar Pisa, en representación del Reino de los Países Bajos; los cancilleres de Brasil, Mauro Vieira, y de Israel, Gideon Saar, y una amplia delegación de Estados Unidos encabezada por el fiscal general interino, Todd Blanche.

El alcalde de Cali no confirmó ni negó la asistencia del presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, quien, según algunos medios locales, está entre los invitados a la investidura de De la Espriella.

Fuentes de la Federación Colombiana de Fútbol (FCF) que fueron consultadas por EFE sobre la presencia del directivo manifestaron no tener tampoco información al respecto.

EXCLUSIVE: Oversight Project sues to block Maryland Democrats’ redistricting measure backed by Gov Moore

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

EXCLUSIVE: A new lawsuit set to be filed in Maryland seeks to block a redistricting amendment backed by Democrat Gov. Wes Moore from appearing on the November ballot, arguing state officials advanced the measure after the state’s own legislative analysts concluded the statutory deadline for certifying ballot questions had already passed.

Advertisement

The complaint, filed Thursday night in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court by the conservative watchdog group Oversight Project and reviewed by Fox News Digital, argues HB 2100 could not lawfully reach voters because Maryland’s July 1 deadline for certifying statewide ballot questions expired more than a month before lawmakers convened a special session to approve the proposal.

The Oversight Project, which filed the lawsuit with Republican lawmakers, argues approval of the amendment could pave the way for an 8-0 Democratic congressional delegation. 

SUPREME COURT DEALS BLOW TO VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS IN FIGHT OVER STATE COURT ELECTION MAP RULING

HB 2100 would ask voters to amend the Maryland Constitution so state constitutional standards governing compactness and boundaries would no longer apply to congressional districts.

The Oversight Project describes itself as working «to expose and root out corruption in government, among elected officials, and in our most influential organizations to ensure power resides with the American People.»

The complaint alleges Democratic sponsors characterized the amendment as merely «technical» in the Maryland House. (Getty, File)

Its filing points to a Department of Legislative Services fiscal note stating that «the new statutory deadline of July 1 for certification of ballot questions» had already passed. The fiscal note also states that election officials were required to publicly post the full text of a proposed constitutional amendment at least 90 days before Election Day.

According to the complaint, lawmakers then added the phrase «notwithstanding any other provision of law» to HB 2100 less than an hour before the joint committee hearing began. The plaintiffs argue the language was intended to override Maryland’s certification, notice and public comment requirements after those deadlines had already elapsed.

The complaint further alleges Democratic sponsors characterized the amendment as merely «technical» in the House, while Senate debate reflected that lawmakers understood the statutory timeline could no longer be met.

The filing cites remarks by Democratic state Sen. Cheryl Kagan during floor debate.

«There is no time to comply with the plain language of the law with our new law because July 1st is in the rearview mirror,» Kagan said, according to the complaint. «There’s no time to have the Secretary of State draft language, to have it published, to have a comment period, to have it modified. It’s just not an option.»

Maryland GOP Delegate Matt Morgan, one of the plaintiffs, told Fox News Digital the disputed language was introduced at 11:08 a.m. for a noon committee hearing.

«They have the law. They’re supposed to follow it. They didn’t,» Morgan said. «And now we’re going to take it to court and see what the judges have to say about it.»

Morgan said Democratic leadership later described the amendment as «technical» on the House floor.

«The truth is that that was their way of trying to get around them missing all these statutory deadlines,» he said.

Republican Delegate Kathy Szeliga, another plaintiff, said legislators had only hours to review the revised language while the public had no opportunity to comment.

«The public got absolutely no time to look and weigh in on the amended language,» Szeliga told Fox News Digital. «So, it just reeks of a naked political, partisan power grab on the Democrats’ behalf.»

According to the complaint, the proposal is intended to overturn the practical effect of a 2022 state court ruling holding that those constitutional standards applied to congressional redistricting. Democrats hold seven of Maryland’s eight U.S. House seats.

Moore has publicly defended the amendment as a response to Republican-led redistricting efforts in other states, saying it would ensure «Marylanders — and no one else — have the final say over their representation.»

The lawsuit asks the court to bar state officials from certifying, printing, distributing, tabulating or canvassing votes on the amendment and requests expedited review because of the approaching election calendar.

Moore’s office, the Maryland Attorney General’s Office and the Maryland State Board of Elections did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Con la presencia de Milei y bajo una alerta terrorista, asume el nuevo presidente de Colombia

Published

on


Con la presencia de Javier Milei entre los invitados especiales y bajo una alerta terrorista, el ultraderechista Abelardo de la Espriella asumirá este viernes la presidencia de Colombia, en un drástico viraje ideológico que pondrá punto final a cuatro años del primer gobierno de izquierda en la historia del país.

Unos 11.000 uniformados de la Policía, el Ejército y la Fuerza Aeroespacial Colombiana custodiarán la ceremonia que se llevará a cabo en Cali, la principal ciudad del sudoeste colombiano. Es la primera vez que la jura no se realiza en Bogotá, en una decisión que busca mostrar el inicio de un nuevo proceso de “descentralización” política.

Advertisement

El acto se desarrollará en la Arena USC, de la Universidad Santiago de Cali, que puede albergar a más de 2300 personas

De la Espriella, un polémico abogado mediático, de 48 años, ganó el balotaje del 21 de junio con un apretado margen de menos de un punto de ventaja sobre el candidato oficialista Iván Cepeda, heredero del presidente saliente, Gustavo Petro, quien no asistirá a la ceremonia porque considera fraudulento el proceso eleccionario. Solo 200.000 votos separaron a ambos candidatos entre los más de 25 millones contabilizados.

El nuevo mandatario asumirá un país aquejado por una nueva ola de violencia guerrillera y del crimen organizado y con el desafío latente de gobernar sin una mayoría en el Congreso. Además, afrontará un grave déficit fiscal, una profunda crisis del sistema de salud y una preocupante realidad climática y energética.

Los grandes desafíos del nuevo gobierno colombiano

El nuevo presidente afrontará un camino difícil. En el corto plazo tendrá ante sí cinco grandes frentes abiertos:

  • Gobernabilidad. Este será un asunto clave para el nuevo gobierno. El izquierdista Pacto Histórico de Petro tiene la primera minoría en el Congreso, con 26 senadores y 43 diputados. El Centro Democrático (CD), una fuerza tradicional de la derecha colombiana, se sumará al nuevo gobierno y aportará 17 senadores y 30 diputados.

Por lo pronto, De la Espriella construyó un bloque de unidad en el Senado con el CD, Salvación Nacional, el Partido Conservador, la U y Cambio Radical. En total alcanzaría 49 votos, sobre un total de 103, pero apunta a crecer con disidentes del Partido Liberal.

En Diputados, el Centro Democrático ostenta la primera minoría, seguida por el Partido Liberal y el Pacto Histórico de Petro, con una dispersión de bancas entre partidos minoritarios que obligará al oficialismo a pactar grandes alianzas.

  • Inseguridad. La violencia guerrillera y del crimen organizado sufrió un importante aumento en los últimos años a pesar del esfuerzo de Petro para pacificar el país a través del diálogo con grupos ilegales. “Este es el principal desafío porque fue un fracaso el plan de ‘Paz Total’ que intentó llevar adelante el gobierno saliente”, dijo a TN la politóloga Bibiana Ortega, de la Universidad Javieriana de Bogotá.

La Fundación Ideas para la Paz, citada por EFE, reveló que el número de guerrilleros creció 23,5% solo en 2025. Se calcula que son 27.121 personas en armas y en redes de apoyo del Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN) y las disidencias de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC).

Pero estos grupos no están solos. Las organizaciones criminales mantienen también un enorme peso en el país. El Clan del Golfo, el mayor grupo criminal, tiene al menos 9840 miembros.

De la Espriella prometió “mano dura” en la campaña. Quiere replicar las políticas radicales de Nayib Bukele, a quien imita en su estilo y en su discurso, a pesar de las innumerables denuncias de organismos de derechos humanos contra el presidente salvadoreño.

“A esas personas que están al margen de la ley, un mensaje categórico: disponen de un mes para entrar en razón (…) y organizar su sometimiento al Estado de derecho. En mi Gobierno no habrá ofertas generosas ni concesiones inaceptables como las que recibieron del régimen que está llegando a su fin”, afirmó el nuevo presidente. En campaña, prometió “bombardear” a los grupos armados.
