Actors Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder were arrested outside the United Nations ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech, Al Jazeera English reported. About 100 protesters demonstrated against Netanyahu's appearance at the UN venue, with police taking both women into custody during the action.
The arrests occurred as Netanyahu prepared to address the UN assembly. The demonstration reflected ongoing opposition to Israeli policies, with the detentions marking a significant moment in the larger protest movement surrounding the Israeli leader's visit.
