NYPD Detains Protesters, Including Celebrities, During Netanyahu’s Speech

The protest led by Jewish Voice for Peace featured notable figures like Elliot Page, Chris Rabb, and Cynthia Nixon, although it’s unclear if they faced arrest. Chevalier, prior to her own arrest, declared to PIX11 News that “Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal who belongs at The Hague” and emphasized that many New Yorkers will not support what she describes as genocide. She indicated her intent to resist police orders to disperse, anticipating arrest for her stance. Chevalier criticized the lack of action against Netanyahu, pointing to the International Criminal Court’s warrant and calling for accountability for serious crimes against humanity.
