Actresses Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder were among the demonstrators arrested during a protest near the United Nations headquarters in New York. The protest, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, took place ahead of a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly. Authorities detained dozens of participants for blocking a public road, with reports indicating at least thirty arrests took place during the event. Other public figures, including actors Cynthia Nixon and Elliot Page, were also present to show their opposition to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Sarandon and Einbinder have both been vocal critics of the war, frequently using their platforms to call for a ceasefire. In a social media post, Einbinder criticized the American government for its stance on the conflict and highlighted the urgency of the situation. While Netanyahu used his speech at the UN to defend Israeli policies and reject allegations of genocide, his address was marked by a walkout from several delegates who protested his presence.
