100 Protesters Detained in NY During Netanyahu Speech
Wide-scale protests took place in New York City during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before the United Nations General Assembly. Police detained about 100 protesters, including representatives, politicians, and congressional candidates, in protest against his upcoming four-state visit scheduled for the International Criminal Court, which accuses him of war crimes in Gaza. Protesters held up signs and chanted calls to stop the bombing and end the war in Gaza. Netanyahu expressed rejection of the criticism, also attacking the New York City mayor, accusing him of endangering Jewish lives. Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s supporters organized gatherings in the city, with warnings about Iran, amidst a mass withdrawal of diplomats at the start of his speech, and rising tensions between protesters and supporters.
