No, Netanyahu wasn’t arrested during his UN visit, but those protesting against him were

Thousands of people took part in protests held across the city, including a march organised by Jewish Voice for Peace and the Palestinian Youth Movement outside the UN headquarters. Actors Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder, as well as activist and whistleblower Chelsea Manning, were among the protesters arrested during a sit-in that blocked a main road leading to the UN. Handcuffed and escorted by a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer, Einbinder was recorded in a video shared on social media saying, “Netanyahu out of New York, no bombs on Lebanon, no bombs on Iran, stop the genocide.”
