Story summary

On September 24, hundreds of protesters gathered in New York City to demonstrate against Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, as he prepared to address the UN General Assembly. Prominent figures such as Oscar winner Susan Sarandon and actress Hannah Einbinder were among those arrested during the protest, which blocked traffic near the UN headquarters on First Avenue for over an hour. Protesters chanted slogans like "Let Gaza live" and unfurled banners calling for an end to what they termed a "genocide." The protests included Jewish, Palestinian, Iranian, and Lebanese New Yorkers, along with several elected officials and candidates. Among those arrested was Democratic congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, who vowed not to disperse despite police orders. Inside the UN building, dozens of delegates walked out as Netanyahu began his speech, which he used to defend Israel's actions against its critics.
