Emotional protesters line up outside UN chief’s NYC home, demand release of Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas

Emotional protesters gathered at the Manhattan home of the United Nations secretary-general Friday morning to demand action on behalf of Israeli hostages held by Hamas and to accuse the UN of “legitimizing terrorism” through its inaction.

“What [has the UN] done, they’ve done nothing. In the most basic way, it’s legitimizing this situation. It’s legitimizing terrorism, legitimizing taking hostages,” organizer Omer Lubaton Granot told The Post after the peaceful demonstration.

A group of about 50 people — mostly middle-aged Manhattan residents — met in a park on Sutton Place around 9 a.m. Friday and walked together to the home of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
