Stars Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder Arrested in NYC Protest
On September 25, 2026, Hollywood stars Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder were among those arrested during a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York, coinciding with his address to the United Nations General Assembly. The demonstration, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, attracted hundreds of participants who opposed Netanyahu's appearance and protested Israel's military actions in Gaza.
Sarandon, known for her roles in "Thelma & Louise" and "Dead Man Walking," was photographed being handcuffed by New York Police Department officers. Einbinder, recognized for her role in the television series "Hacks," was also taken into custody after participating in a sit-in.
Protesters wore T-shirts with slogans like “Fund people not bombs” and carried banners against U.S. military support for Israel. The NYPD reported that at least 30 people were arrested, while organizers claimed the number exceeded 100.
Other notable figures at the protest included Cynthia Nixon, Elliot Page, and musicians Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker.
