Hollywood stars arrested in anti-Netanyahu protest

Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon was among several stars arrested during an anti-Netanyahu protest in New York City, according to authorities. The protest, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, aimed to urge an end to the US military funding to Israel and called for an end to the conflict in Gaza. Sarandon, known for her roles in films like "Thelma & Louise" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," was among those taken into custody as she refused to leave the demonstration site despite warnings from NYPD officers.

The protest saw over 400 people participate in a mass sit-in outside the United Nations, demanding an end to the genocide and US military funding to Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly, accusing both enemies and allies of crossing him, including Britain and France, which have recently recognized Palestine. Despite the arrests, Jewish Voice for Peace claimed over 100 people were taken into custody.
