Actress Susan Sarandon and New York City Council member Chi Ossé were taken into police custody during a protest held outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City. The demonstration was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, an organization that describes itself as anti-Zionist, to call for a ceasefire and protest current Israeli government actions.

The event drew a notable crowd, including several incoming members of Congress, as well as public figures such as streamer Hasan Piker and actress Hannah Einbinder. Participants gathered to voice their opposition to the ongoing conflict, with the protest resulting in police intervention and the subsequent arrests of several attendees, including Sarandon and Ossé.

While the protest was framed by organizers as a necessary act of civil disobedience to highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the event drew criticism from various political observers who questioned the rhetoric used by the participating groups. The Times of Israel specifically highlighted the involvement of Jewish Voice for Peace, emphasizing the group's anti-Zionist stance as a central component of the event's identity. Authorities have not yet released specific details regarding the charges filed against those detained, though such arrests at UN-area protests typically involve charges of disorderly conduct or obstruction of government administration.
