Susan Sarandon Arrested at Pro-Palestinian UN Protest
Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon was arrested during a pro-Palestinian demonstration outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City on Thursday. The arrest occurred shortly before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scheduled to address the assembly.
Several other prominent actors were present at the protest, including Emmy winners Cynthia Nixon and Hannah Einbinder, as well as Elliot Page. The demonstrators were protesting the ongoing conflict in Gaza and calling for a ceasefire. Reports indicate that the protesters were chanting slogans and holding signs, disrupting the area outside the UN building.
Sarandon, a vocal critic of Israeli policy, has been actively participating in pro-Palestinian rallies. Her arrest highlights the growing international attention and activism surrounding the conflict. It is unclear at this time if Nixon, Einbinder, or Page were also arrested or detained.
