Hannah Einbinder and Susan Sarandon detained at pro-Palestine protest during Netanyahu's New York visit

Hannah Einbinder, a Hacks star, and Susan Sarandon, an Oscar-winning actress, were arrested during a pro-Palestine protest outside the United Nations in New York. The demonstration occurred on Thursday as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech to the General Assembly. Over 100 people were arrested, though the New York Police Department has not officially confirmed the arrests of Einbinder and Sarandon.

Einbinder, 31, was seen with her hands behind her back as she was taken away by officers, shouting "Netanyahu out of New York." She later called for attention to remain focused on the ongoing war in Palestine, urging people to donate to Pal Humanity, a medical and humanitarian organization based in Gaza. Sarandon, 79, was also detained by police during the protest.
