Avila Chevalier arrested at anti-Netanyahu protest in New York
- On Thursday, September 24, 2026, the NYPD arrested congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, actor Susan Sarandon, and comedian Hannah Einbinder during an anti-Netanyahu demonstration outside the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan.
- Organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, the sit-in sought to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit and U.S. military aid, citing his role in the ongoing war in Gaza.
- Police moved in after demonstrators blocked First Avenue, using zip ties to detain roughly 100 participants who refused to disperse, including New York City Council Member Chi Ossé and comedian Caleb Hearon.
- Inside the General Assembly, Netanyahu delivered his speech to a sparse audience after dozens of delegates staged a mass walkout, prompting him to label the departing representatives "moral cowards."
- Palestinian Youth Movement spokeswoman Nas Issa expects thousands to attend a permitted demonstration at Bryant Park later today, indicating anti-Netanyahu activity will likely expand significantly beyond the morning arrests.
