The Green Party has long called for Netanyahu's arrest. The Green Party has repeatedly demanded a permanent ceasefire in Israel's war on Gaza and condemned Israel's ethnic cleansing, collective punishment, forced starvation, murder of aid providers and journalists, assaults by Israeli Defense Forces on refugee zones and corridors, and extermination of civilians in Gaza, including thousands of children.
Over 100 protesters were arrested near the United Nations in New York on Thursday ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the General Assembly.
The sit-in, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, denounced Netanyahu for perpetrating a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, building more illegal settlements in the West Bank, occupying parts of Lebanon and bombing Iran alongside the United States.
Democracy Now! spoke with participants, including some congressional candidates and other prominent figures.
