Quick Summary

Celebrity activists including Elliot Page, Susan Sarandon, and Chelsea Manning joined hundreds of protesters in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday to block traffic and demonstrate against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of his speech at the United Nations General Assembly. Arrests were made as protesters chanted slogans like “Stop the genocide, free Palestine.” The article highlights Sarandon’s prior arrests during political demonstrations and her belief that taking a stand internationally has earned her support despite losing acting roles due to her activism against Israel's policies.

Story summary

On September 24, 2026, hundreds of protesters blocked traffic near UN headquarters in New York City to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit. Among those arrested were Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon and comedian Hannah Einbinder, along with over 100 others. The demonstration was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace and other progressive groups demanding an end to U.S. support for Israel and highlighting the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Darializa Avila Chevalier, a Democratic candidate for New York's 13th Congressional District, was also arrested during the protest. She stated that she refused to allow Netanyahu to "roam the streets of our city unchallenged" given his oversight of what protesters deemed as genocidal actions against Palestinians.

Inside the General Assembly, Netanyahu defended Israel’s conduct despite numerous delegates walking out in opposition. The protest came amid growing international pressure over the conflict, with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani previously declaring his intention to enforce an International Criminal Court warrant for Netanyahu's arrest if legally possible.
