Demonstrators carried banners calling to \u201cend the genocide\u201d and wore shirts reading \u201cFund people not bombs\u201d. <!-- -->A kite bearing the words \u201cFree Palestine\u201d was also flown during the protest.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The protests come amid rising political controversy over Netanyahu\u2019s visit, with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani having repeatedly called the Israeli leader a \u201cwar criminal\u201d and previously said he would seek his arrest if Netanyahu came to the city.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Netanyahu had responded by warning Mamdani in a video message, saying, \u201cI\u2019m going to tell the truth about you.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Mamdani later acknowledged that he does not have the legal authority to order Netanyahu\u2019s arrest, citing legal and federal jurisdictional issues. He has also said New Yorkers have the right to protest and that his administration respects that right.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The NYPD had not immediately confirmed the number of arrests, while organisers estimated that more than 100 protesters had been detained, <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">The Guardian<\/span> reported.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The demonstrations also drew several openly pro-Palestinian candidates, including New York candidates Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brad Lander, as well as Pennsylvania\u2019s Chris Rabb, New Jersey\u2019s Adam Hamawy and Colorado\u2019s Melat Kiros.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Actor Hannah Einbinder was among those arrested ahead of the protest. She said she joined the demonstration as \u201ca Jew, as an American, and as a human being\u201d, while calling for an end to US support for Israel\u2019s military campaign in Gaza.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>The protests are among several demonstrations planned around Netanyahu\u2019s UN appearance this week, reflecting the growing political and public opposition to Israel\u2019s war in Gaza in parts of the US.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/us\/let-gaza-live-netanyahu-faces-protests-in-new-york-as-demonstrators-block-roads-ahead-of-un-speech\/articleshow\/134467531.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protest ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s address to the United Nations, in New York.
