Pro-Palestine activists cause chaos as they descend on the Met Gala

Thousands of demonstrators marched through Manhattan in an attempt to disrupt Vogue’s Met Gala. Protesters have been filmed chanting anti-Israel messages, blocking traffic and setting off flares on Monday evening. Dozens of activists were arrested outside the event. Protesters have been criticised online for attempting to disrupt the fund-raising event. "These people have no interest in democracy," one user wrote on X. Another wrote: “We must jail these rioters. It’s time for accountability New York!”
