Susan Sarandon Detained at UN Protest Against Netanyahu
Actress Susan Sarandon was among several individuals detained by police on September 24 outside the United Nations headquarters in New York. The protest occurred just before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled address to the UN General Assembly. Photos circulated on social media showing Sarandon and fellow actress Hannah Einbinder being led away in handcuffs by police.
Both Sarandon and Einbinder have been vocal critics of Israel and supporters of the Palestinian cause. Einbinder previously spoke at the Cannes Film Festival about her pro-Palestinian stance, stating that the "price of silence is higher" and that her career was less important than a single human life. She emphasized her commitment to speaking out.
The protest and detentions took place prior to Netanyahu's speech at the General Assembly.
