New York City Councilwoman Vicki Paladino demanded action against high school students and teachers who took part in a riot against a pro-Israel teacher at Hillcrest High.
On Monday, November 27, Israel and Hamas reached the final day of their original cease-fire agreement. They exchanged dozens of Israeli hostages for Palestinian criminals. Negotiators are pushing Israel to extend the truce in exchange for more hostages. President Biden has said he hopes the pause in fighting will continue.
Hundreds of students stormed the hallways of Hillcrest High School in Queens, forcing the teacher to hide in a locked office as the group tried to push its way into her classroom, according to reports.
