Police arrest actors, politicians protesting against Netanyahu outside UN
Jewish Voice for Peace organized the sit-in, and police said roughly 100 protesters were taken into custody after refusing to disperse.
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, New York Police Department officers arrested roughly 100 protesters, including actor Susan Sarandon and Congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, who blocked First Avenue outside United Nations headquarters ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address.
- Jewish Voice for Peace coordinated the blockade to protest U.S. military support for Israel, with demonstrators demanding an end to what they termed 'genocide' in Gaza and wearing shirts reading 'Fund people not bombs.'
- Officers from the NYPD Community Affairs Bureau issued warnings before clearing the intersection, using zip ties to detain participants including Emmy-winning actress Hannah Einbinder and New York City Council Member Chi Ossé; all were later released.
- Inside the General Assembly, dozens of diplomatic envoys walked out as Netanyahu began his address, rejecting genocide accusations as 'the greatest lie of the century' while attacking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as 'antisemitic.'
- Growing tensions reflect New York's complex political climate, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged lacking legal authority to arrest Netanyahu. Activists vow to continue demanding an end to military aid for Israel amid the Gaza conflict.
