Rabid anti-Israel activists set to hit the streets tonight in Mamdani’s Manhattan

Jewish New Yorkers, beware.

The same rabid anti-Israel activists who have harassed Jews at synagogues in recent weeks in violent protests, flown the flag of Hamas and Hezbollah and stomped on the Israeli flag are returning to the streets tonight at Time Square in midtown Manhattan to rage-bait Israelis and Jews attending a «Jerusalem Real Estate Expo» at Times Square.

The protest underscores how anti-Israel activist groups are continuing to escalate their pressure campaigns against pro-Israel and Jewish events across the city, despite mounting criticisms of antisemitism. Earlier this week, Jewish and Muslim leaders led a protest at Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence at Gracie Mansion, asking that he address the growing antisemitism in the city.

Community leaders say these protests put more pressure on Mamdani who joined anti-Israel protests many times before he ran for the mayor’s office. In college, he was a founding member of his school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, which also seeks «the return» of Palestinians to modern-day Israel and a one-state solution that claims modern-day Israel for Palestinians, essentially destroying the state of Israel.

The planned confrontation unfolded at 6:30 p.m. at the New York Hilton Midtown, where anti-Israel protesters are expected to target attendees and organizers connected to the real estate event. The anti-Israel group sponsoring the protest tonight is the New York and New Jersey chapter of PAL-AWDA, a group that is seeking «the return» of Palestinians to modern-day Israel. The group advocates for completely dismantling the state of Israel, and it rejects discussions of a two-state solution, demanding Palestinian control of modern-day Israel from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, or as they chant, «from the river to the sea.»

PAL-AWDA group regularly participates in demonstrations targeting Jewish and pro-Israel gatherings across New York City, alongside activists from Within Our Lifetime and the Muslim American Society’s New York chapter, which are also expected to send members to the protest. Al-Awda activists protested outside a Queens synagogue two weeks ago and targeted another synagogue event on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Within Our Lifetime is led by its fiery co-founder, Nerdeen Kiswani, and Muslim American Society members are led by Abdullah Akl, a youth and outreach coordinator for the 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit.

These groups have worked together with the network of far-left organizations that have organized anti-Israel protests and student encampments, like the People’s Forum, the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which have been funded and supported by Neville Roy Singham, a controversial American Marxist tech tycoon living in Shanghai, supporting the Chinese Communist Party. It isn’t clear if those groups will send their members, but there is usually a lot of cross-pollination.

One regular anti-Israel protest participant, Anas Shuaib, 27, told Fox News Digital: «I will be at the Hilton event to stop land theft of Palestinian land and expose Zionist control of America.»

The «Jerusalem Real Estate Expo,» scheduled from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Hilton, promoted the event as «the Israeli capital’s greatest real estate opportunities … all under one roof.»

In response, the PAL-AWDA New York and New Jersey chapter quietly announced its demonstration, titled «Stop the Sale of Stolen Palestinian Land.» Fox News Digital sent requests for comment to several of the organizations participating in the real estate event but didn’t hear back, and PAL-AWDA didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Promotional material for the protest describe the expo as an «illegal land expo and settler recruitment fair» featuring the «Mayor of Jerusalem,» with the mayor’s title placed in quotation marks.

Al-Awda used imagery in its protest advertisement that critics say symbolized the elimination of the Jewish state. The graphic featured a keyhole replacing the «O» in «Stop the Sale,» alongside a full map of modern-day Israel placed inside the «O» in «Stolen,» imagery commonly used by anti-Israel activists to reject Israel’s existence as a sovereign state.

The renewed demonstrations are likely to intensify scrutiny on Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who already faced criticism Tuesday night as Jewish and Muslim protesters gathered outside Gracie Mansion to protest what they described as rising antisemitism and the city’s handling of anti-Israel activism.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Ukraine’s wartime government is getting another shake-up after Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko stepped down Sunday, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying he has offered her a «new, important» role as he reshapes his administration during the ongoing war with Russia.

Svyrydenko announced her resignation in a statement on social media, saying she was «proud to have had the honor of leading the government during one of the most difficult periods in Ukraine’s modern history.» She said she had discussed «next steps» with Zelenskyy, but did not disclose what her next position would be.

«I remain ready to serve the Ukrainian state and carry out every task aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s position, defending our national interests and bringing a just peace closer,» Svyrydenko wrote.

Zelenskyy, who has remained in office under martial law because wartime elections are prohibited, framed the move as part of a broader shift in Ukraine’s governing strategy.

«Ukraine is changing its political strategy,» Zelenskyy wrote in a social media post, adding that he had offered Svyrydenko the chance to lead «a new, important area» in Ukraine’s relations with a key international partner.

The Ukrainian president said each major area of foreign policy would be assigned to an experienced official responsible for carrying out agreements reached with foreign leaders and advancing the interests of the Ukrainian people. He also announced planned changes to the country’s top law enforcement leadership, though he did not immediately provide additional details.

Svyrydenko, who previously served as Ukraine’s economy minister, was appointed prime minister in July 2025 at age 39 after playing a key role in negotiating a minerals agreement between Ukraine and the United States. The deal was widely viewed as a way to strengthen U.S. economic interests in Ukraine while reinforcing Washington’s long-term commitment to the country’s security.

Retiring Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., has abandoned his neutrality in Michigan’s high-stakes Democratic Senate primary, backing U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens as party leaders rally to stop progressive rival Abdul El-Sayed from winning the nomination.

Peters, who is retiring after two terms in the Senate, announced the endorsement Monday, saying Stevens «will be ready on day one to fight for Michigan.» The move reverses his position from late May, when he told The Associated Press he planned to stay neutral in the Aug. 4 primary.

Democrats are eager to keep the Michigan seat as they try to win back the Senate majority, and many party leaders have lined up behind Stevens, a four-term congresswoman they see as a stronger general election candidate.

Stevens has centered her campaign on manufacturing, jobs and Michigan’s auto industry. El-Sayed, a former Michigan health director who has never held elected office, has run on a more progressive platform that includes Medicare for All and campaign finance reform. He has also made the war in Gaza a central issue in his campaign, highlighting a divide that has surfaced within the Democratic Party.

Peters’ endorsement comes weeks after State Sen. Mallory McMorrow ended her campaign, leaving Stevens and El-Sayed as the only major Democratic candidates in the race.

«Senator Peters knows what it takes to win in Michigan, and he knows what Michigan needs from our next U.S. Senator: grit, effectiveness, hard work, and Michigan common sense,» Stevens said in a statement. «I am honored to have his support.»

Peters has won two Senate elections in Michigan and previously chaired the Senate Democrats’ campaign committee during the 2022 and 2024 election cycles.

His endorsement follows similar backing for Stevens from Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev. El-Sayed has been endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.

El-Sayed has criticized Stevens over tens of millions of dollars in outside spending supporting her campaign, including money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Stevens has accused El-Sayed of refusing to release his personal financial records. During a July 7 debate, both candidates accused the other of running a negative campaign.

Michigan has taken on added importance for Democrats after turmoil erupted in another key Senate race in Maine, where Democratic nominee Graham Platner withdrew following a sexual assault allegation.

EN VIVO: la escalada militar entre EEUU e Irán renueva tensión en las bolsas y el mercado petrolero

Los ataques militares estadounidenses contra objetivos iraníes entraron este lunes en su segundo día, en una nueva escalada por el control del estrecho de Ormuz que amenaza un frágil acuerdo interino y dispara los precios del petróleo. El CENTCOM informó que sus fuerzas atacaron defensas aéreas, radares costeros y capacidades de misiles y drones iraníes, mientras Teherán denunció que los bombardeos “dejaron sin efecto” los esfuerzos diplomáticos y advirtió que dejará de cumplir el memorando firmado con Washington si no cesa la guerra.

En represalia, la Guardia Revolucionaria reivindicó ataques contra bases estadounidenses en Jordania, Bahrein y Kuwait, además de golpes contra Omán. Sonaron alarmas antiaéreas en Bahrein, Kuwait interceptó «objetivos aéreos hostiles» y Jordania derribó cuatro misiles iraníes. Los bombardeos de EE.UU. dejaron al menos un muerto y cuatro heridos en el suroeste de Irán, según IRNA, tras las víctimas ya reportadas el domingo en Hormozgán y Jask.

La escalada disparó los precios del petróleo en Tokio tras el anuncio iraní de un eventual cierre de Ormuz, aunque Washington insistió en que «el tráfico está fluyendo» con normalidad. El presidente de EEUU Donald Trump afirmó que ambos países habían estado cerca de alcanzar «un acuerdo» el sábado antes de que un ataque con drones contra un buque hiciera fracasar las negociaciones, mientras el secretario general de la ONU, António Guterres, reclamó a las partes que cesen las hostilidades.

El gobierno yemení reivindica un ataque al aeropuerto de Saná; los hutíes responsabilizan a Arabia Saudita

El gobierno de Yemen reconocido internacionalmente afirmó este lunes haber atacado el aeropuerto de Saná tras una disputa por un avión iraní que trasladaba a una delegación hutí, un ataque que el grupo rebelde había atribuido inicialmente a Arabia Saudita. “Las milicias terroristas hutíes —respaldadas por el régimen iraní— impidieron que aeronaves nacionales yemeníes aterrizaran en el aeropuerto de la capital, Saná, mientras insistían en permitir que un avión iraní violara el territorio yemení; en consecuencia, se atacó la pista del aeropuerto”, declaró el ministerio de Defensa de Yemen. Previamente, el canal hutí Al Masirah había informado que “la agresión saudita atacó las pistas de despegue y aterrizaje del aeropuerto internacional de Saná”.

Los hutíes, respaldados por Irán, afirmaron este lunes que responderán al ataque contra el aeropuerto de Saná, que atribuyeron a Arabia Saudita, aunque el gobierno yemení respaldado por Riad reivindicó la autoría del operativo. El vocero militar hutí, Yahya Saree, acusó a Arabia Saudita de “poner fin a la fase de distensión y asumir toda la responsabilidad por las consecuencias de su agresión”, y advirtió: “Afirmamos que esta agresión no quedará sin respuesta ni sin castigo”.

Cómo está el tráfico marítimo en el estrecho de Ormuz, que Irán asegura haber cerrado y EEUU quiere mantener abierto

Apenas seis embarcaciones cruzaron la ruta clave este domingo tras una serie de ataques entre el régimen y las fuerzas enviadas por Washington para garantizar la circulación. Sin embargo, reportes indican que hay buques circulando que evitan ser detectados

La escalada militar en Medio Oriente retrajo la circulación en el Golfo Pérsico

El tráfico marítimo en Ormuz cayó a seis buques el domingo 12 de julio, su nivel más bajo en cinco semanas, en medio del cruce de ataques entre Estados Unidos e Irán y de incidentes contra embarcaciones en Oriente Medio que elevaron la inquietud por la seguridad.

El ejército de Baréin informó este lunes que sus sistemas de defensa aérea interceptaron y destruyeron varios misiles y drones iraníes lanzados durante el día, tras la reivindicación de la Guardia Revolucionaria de haber atacado instalaciones militares estadounidenses en el Golfo, incluidas bases en territorio bareiní. Las Fuerzas de Defensa de Bahrein acusaron a Irán de continuar apuntando contra la población civil del reino.

En paralelo, la agencia semioficial iraní ISNA reportó que un ataque estadounidense contra un objetivo en la provincia de Isfahán, en el centro de Irán, dejó una persona muerta y siete heridas en las primeras horas del lunes, según el vicegobernador de Seguridad de la provincia. Irán no ha difundido un balance oficial de víctimas desde que se reanudaron los ataques cruzados de gran escala la semana pasada, pero los reportes de medios estatales y declaraciones sobre incidentes puntuales sugieren que unas 20 personas murieron por los renovados bombardeos estadounidenses. Al comienzo de la guerra, miles de personas habían muerto, la mayoría en Irán y Líbano.

El lunes, las fuerzas armadas de Bahrein acusaron a Irán de atacar a civiles en sus últimos ataques contra el reino, después de que Teherán afirmara haber atacado instalaciones militares e infraestructura de Estados Unidos en ese país.

“Irán continúa con su actitud hostil sistemática a través de sus atroces ataques con misiles y drones dirigidos contra civiles en el Reino de Bahrein”, declaró el comando general de las fuerzas armadas de Bahrein en un comunicado, y agregó que las defensas aéreas “interceptaron y destruyeron varios ataques aéreos iraníes” el lunes por la mañana.

Irán indicó el lunes que continúa las gestiones diplomáticas con los mediadores Qatar, Pakistán y Omán, con el fin de “evitar una escalada” con Estados Unidos, en plena reanudación de las hostilidades entre ambos países.

“El papel de los mediadores es seguir con sus esfuerzos para evitar una escalada de las tensiones”, declaró el portavoz de la cancillería iraní, Esmail Baqai, añadiendo que Teherán había estado en contacto “estos últimos días” con Qatar y Omán, dos países atacados militarmente por Irán, así como con Pakistán.

Irán anunció el lunes que ya no respetaría el memorando de entendimiento firmado con Estados Unidos si Washington no cumplía con sus compromisos para poner fin a la guerra.

“Cada vez que la otra parte no ha cumplido con sus obligaciones, nosotros tampoco hemos cumplido con las nuestras... Seguiremos actuando de esta manera”, declaró el portavoz del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Esmaeil Baqaei, en una conferencia de prensa en Teherán, tras la última oleada de hostilidades entre los enemigos.
