Arab-American civil liberties group erects Times Square billboard demanding Trump let aid into Gaza

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) announced on Tuesday that it has erected a billboard in Times Square, in the heart of New York City, demanding that US President Donald Trump let unconditional aid into Gaza.

"This visit to Riyadh—and the US–Saudi investment summit—must not be viewed as a business opportunity alone. At the heart of this historic trip must be a clear and immediate demand: end Israel’s unabated genocide in Gaza. Restore the rule of international law. Recognize the Palestinian people’s right to freedom, self-determination, and dignity. Return humanity to the center of US foreign policy," an ADC press release said.

"Get the aid to Gaza, and get it now! The United States possesses the resources and capability to deliver life-saving supplies immediately, without needing permission or 'coordination' from other countries. Our government must step up and act without hesitation. The world is watching," the ADC added.

The billboard quotes Trump's own words last month: “We’ve got to be good to Gaza. Those people are suffering. There’s a very big need for food and medicine. And we’re taking care of it.”

A billboard erected by the ADC in Times Square on 12 May 2025 shows President Donald Trump's face and a demand that he allow unconditional aid into Gaza, based on his own pledge to help.
