Susan Sarandon, Hannah Einbinder arrested at Netanyahu UN protest | Benjamin Netanyahu

Actresses Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder were among approximately 100 individuals arrested by New York City police during a protest outside the United Nations on Monday. The demonstration coincided with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s scheduled address at the UN.

The protest was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, an advocacy group that accused the UN of “playing host to a war criminal.” The situation escalated as police moved to clear the demonstrators, resulting in multiple arrests.

This public demonstration reflects ongoing tensions surrounding international perceptions of Israel’s actions and its leadership. The protest underscored a growing divide in public opinion regarding Netanyahu’s policies and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
