Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the streets surrounding Rockefeller Center Wednesday in an effort to derail the annual tree lighting in support of Gaza.

Waving Palestinian flags and signs calling for the “end to genocide,” the ralliers gathered along Sixth Avenue alongside hordes of tourists waiting in line to see the iconic ceremony.

The protesters gathered outside the News Corp building, which houses The Post and Fox News, and has already been targeted by pro-Palestinian protesters on at least two occasions.

One rallier was seen climbing on top of the pillar bearing the building’s address, and another was seen carrying a massive sign bearing a swastika, comparing the Israel Defense Forces to German Nazis.

“Free free Palestine!” the protesters chanted.

At least one person was seen being taken into custody, though it’s not clear whether they were charged.

The NYPD ordered a high-security presence before the planned protest, warning that “elevated vigilance” is necessary during this year’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center.

Pro-Palestinian organizers announced their plans to disrupt the festivities earlier this week, noting that the world-renowned celebration also falls on the UN-recognized International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
