NEW YORK — Some 200 Israelis and Jewish Americans have gathered outside the headquarters of the United Nations to protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upon his arrival in New York to speak tomorrow at the UN General Assembly.

The protesters are calling for a hostage deal and an end to the war in Gaza.

Speakers at the rally include Hamas hostage Nimrod Cohen’s father Yehuda Cohen, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, Lab/Shul community Rabbi Amichai Lau Lavie and B’nai Jeshurun Rabbi Felicia Sol.

The rally is organized by a group of dovish pro-Israel organizations.
