Unpermitted anti-Israel protest blocked from approaching DNC’s United Center

CHICAGO — Anti- Israel protesters are marching toward the United Center on Wednesday evening during the third night of the convention to fete Vice President Kamala Harris .

A police officer on the scene confirmed to the Washington Examiner the group waving Palestinian flags does not have a permit for the demonstration to protest the U.S. response to the Israel-Hamas war.

Meantime, inside the United Center, the parents of Hersch Goldberg-Polin addressed the Democratic National Convention and pleaded for the release of the Hamas-captured hostages.

The protesters started at Union Park and marched toward Park No. 578 near the United Center, the same spot where demonstrators broke through the security gate on Monday. They were quickly encountered by law enforcement preventing entry to the park.
