Hannah Einbinder Speaks Out After Arrest at Netanyahu Protest
Einbinder said she protested to spotlight violence and displacement, and around 100 demonstrators were taken into custody, police said.
- On Thursday, actor Hannah Einbinder was among more than 100 people detained by The New York Police Department during a sit-in outside the United Nations ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the General Assembly.
- Organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, the demonstration blocked First Avenue for about an hour as participants demanded the U.S. end weapons funding for Israel amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
- In a statement posted to Instagram, Einbinder urged followers to focus on the "devastating genocidal war" in Gaza and Southern Lebanon rather than the "spectacle" of celebrity arrests.
- Inside the General Assembly, Netanyahu called demonstrators "phony human rights protestors" and labeled delegates who walked out "moral cowards" during his forceful address.
- Netanyahu faces an election next month viewed as a referendum on his leadership, while the U.S. plans a $2.8 billion munitions package for Israel despite Amnesty International and UN inquiries finding genocide allegations merit investigation.
