Police arrest actors, politicians protesting against Netanyahu outside UN
- On Thursday, NYPD officers arrested approximately 100 protesters, including actress Susan Sarandon and actress Hannah Einbinder, for blocking traffic on First Avenue near the United Nations headquarters during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit.

- Police used zip-ties to detain high-profile figures, including Sarandon, Einbinder, and Democratic congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier, alongside New York City Council Member Chi Osse.
- Inside the General Assembly, dozens of diplomats staged a mass walkout as Netanyahu began his address, and the Prime Minister later dismissed those who departed as 'moral cowards.'
- Chevalier's arrest underscores the movement's political stakes, while Netanyahu faces ongoing war crimes accusations from the International Criminal Court , which issued a warrant in 2024.
