The protests — which have spread to other cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston — resulted in some clashes with police and hundreds of arrests in the Big Apple.

Protesters across Israel rally for social justice, cost of living and the rights of an increasingly embattled middle class. Overall, across the country, roughly 430,000 Israelis turned out. The largest protest was in the capital, Tel Aviv, where 300,000 took to the streets. These widespread and large-scale street demonstrations are the culmination of 50 days of protesting that have thrown a new dynamic into Israel’s domestic politics. The protest in Tel Aviv is pictured above, in a photo by Uriel Sinai of Getty Images.
