Approximately 100 protesters, including actress Susan Sarandon, Emmy winner Hannah Einbinder, Democratic candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, and NYC Council member Chi Osse, were arrested outside the UN headquarters in New York during a demonstration against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, about 200 people wore white T-shirts with slogans like “Fund people not bombs” and “Free Palestine,” blocking traffic before police dispersed and detained them. The protest condemned the actions in Gaza and criticized Netanyahu’s use of the UN platform to justify alleged atrocities.
