CHICAGO — Anti-Israel pro­test­ers are march­ing toward the Unit­ed Cen­ter on Wednes­day evening dur­ing the third night of the con­ven­tion to fete Vice Pres­i­dent Kamala Har­ris.

A police offi­cer on the scene con­firmed to the Wash­ing­ton Exam­in­er the group wav­ing Pales­tin­ian flags does not have a per­mit for the demon­stra­tion to protest the U.S. response to the Israel-Hamas war.
