As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, widespread protests took place across the city. Hundreds of Israeli and American protesters took to the streets of Manhattan at several locations, with the main events occurring on streets near the UN headquarters and at Union Square Park. Police arrested protesters blocking major traffic arteries, including actress Cynthia Nixon, Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon, mayoral advisor Linda Sarsour, Democratic congressional candidate Darilya Avila Chevalier, and WikiLeaks whistleblower Chelsea Manning. The demonstrators carried signs against the government and shouted protest chants at the official convoy, including 'Netanyahu, go to hell.' Meanwhile, the unXeptable movement held a separate protest at Union Square with virtual ballot boxes for symbolic voting ahead of the elections in Israel. Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that no action would be taken against city employees who choose to protest.
