Thousands of people including Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams marched in solidarity with Israel and the Jewish community worldwide.
The parade stepped off at 11:30 a.m. Sunday on 54th Street.
Meanwhile, protests were expected at the parade over a proposed judicial overhaul by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. He is still on trial for corruption himself. A demonstration was expected to take place outside a conference at the Hilton Hotel in Midtown. Groups were expected to protest against officials who were scheduled to attend the event.
The controversial plan would give politicians a chance to avoid punishment, including jail time, and give them more power over picking judges.
