Hollywood stars among 100 arrested in NY anti-Netanyahu protest
Inside the UN General Assembly, dozens of diplomats from around the world walked out as Netanyahu, wanted foe war crimes by the International Criminal Court, began his speech.
According to the New York Post, 100 people were arrested in New York on Thursday during a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the United Nations General Assembly. The arrestees included Hollywood stars Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder. The protest, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, had attendees holding signs that read "Stop Arming Israel" and "End the Genocide."
NYPD officers responded to reports of an unscheduled demonstration where protesters were blocking an intersection. Multiple individuals who refused to comply with officers' warnings were taken into custody. Sarandon, known for her activism on Israel's war in Gaza, stated that she has faced difficulties in obtaining roles due to her outspoken views. Israeli allies Britain and France have recognized the state of Palestine in recent moves.
