Susan Sarandon Arrested at UN Protest Against Israeli Policies
Actress Susan Sarandon was arrested by police during a protest outside the United Nations headquarters in New York on September 24, 2026. The demonstration, which also included actress Hannah Einbinder, was organized by activists and artists to voice opposition to Israeli government policies. Both Sarandon and Einbinder were seen being led away in handcuffs, with images of their detention circulating on social media. The incident occurred just hours before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scheduled to address the UN General Assembly. Sarandon and Einbinder are known for their public criticism of Israel's actions and support for the Palestinian cause. Einbinder previously stated at the Cannes Film Festival that she felt a moral obligation to express her views despite potential career repercussions. No further information regarding legal actions against the actresses has been released.
