Law enforcement in Livingston, New Jersey intervened against demonstrators protesting an appearance by former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Protesters gathered outside a synagogue, displaying banners accusing Gallant of genocide and calling for Palestinian freedom. Police made several detentions after the crowd blocked access to the venue.

Police in Livingston, New Jersey confronted pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrating against former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant during his speaking engagement on Tuesday. The demonstration took place outside a local synagogue where Gallant was scheduled to appear, leading to multiple detentions by law enforcement.

Protest Details and Accusations

Demonstrators carrying Palestinian flags and wearing keffiyehs assembled near the venue, chanting slogans that held Gallant responsible for civilian casualties in Gaza. They displayed signs with messages including "Gallant is guilty of genocide" and voiced demands for Palestinian liberation, creating a tense atmosphere outside the religious institution.

Police Intervention and Detentions

The situation escalated when protesters obstructed entrance routes to the synagogue, prompting police action to clear the area. Officers physically engaged with some demonstrators, forcing them to the ground before taking them into custody. The intervention restored access to the venue but resulted in multiple temporary detentions.

International Legal Context Gallant served as Israel's defense minister from 2022 to 2024, a period that included major military operations in Gaza.

The International Criminal Court

issued arrest warrants for both Gallant and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in November 2024 concerning alleged atrocities in Gaza, where significant casualties have been reported since the conflict escalated in October 2023.
