Israeli anti-government activists protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outside his hotel in New York City following the premier’s arrival for the UN General Assembly, where he is due to speak tomorrow.
Around a dozen demonstrators gather in Manhattan holding signs that say, “Save Israel from Netanyahu,” “Stop the war,” and “Free them all.”
They chant, “Bring them home,” and, “There is no military solution,” to the beat of a snare drum.
The protesters seek an end to the war and the release of the hostages held in Gaza.
Organizers say some family members of Israelis held hostage in Gaza will join later today.
The hostage families will also lead a protest outside the UN Headquarters tomorrow as Netanyahu addresses the General Assembly.
Non-Jewish anti-Israel activist groups have also been protesting at the UN and have announced a large demonstration for tomorrow morning around the same time.
Despite their shared opposition to Netanyahu, the two groups are not allies, as the non-Jewish anti-Israel activist groups aim to ostracize those they consider Zionists and support the destruction of the State of Israel.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
