On the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, a protest involving approximately 100 participants took place near the UN headquarters in New York. The demonstration coincided with the presence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was scheduled to address the assembly. During the event, law enforcement officials arrested a number of protesters, including high-profile figures such as actress Susan Sarandon and comedian Hannah Einbinder.

While both sources confirm the arrests took place, they differ slightly in their characterization of the timing and the nature of the event. Al Jazeera explicitly identifies Sarandon and Einbinder as participants in the protest, framing the event specifically around their involvement and the context of Netanyahu’s upcoming speech. In contrast, RT focuses on the broader scope of the demonstration, describing it as a "pro-Palestinian" protest and emphasizing the availability of video footage documenting the police action. Neither report provides specific details regarding the exact charges filed against those arrested or the specific demands of the protest group beyond the general context of the Israeli Prime Minister’s visit.
