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.
