Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced a comprehensive security strategy for the Israel Day Parade in New York City. The parade, themed "Hatikvah" to symbolize hope, will feature former hostages from the Oct. 7 Hamas attack to raise awareness about captives still held. Amid rising antisemitism and ongoing protests, police will enforce strict security measures, including screening protocols and a strong police presence featuring helicopters and drones. Officials reassured that there are no known credible threats but will maintain vigilance for safety at the event.
"We will not tolerate any attempts to disrupt this event or engage those who come to celebrate," Trish started the security briefing on Friday morning by saying.
"While currently the NYPD is not aware of any specific or credible threats related to the parade, there will be a robust and visible police presence at the event..."
"No backpacks, chairs, large bags, and other items will be allowed."
