What to know

  • Hundreds of protesters blocked roads outside the UN during Netanyahu's Thursday address, with demonstrators representing multiple communities and pro-Palestinian political candidates in attendance.
  • Multiple arrests were made including actress Susan Sarandon; an even larger demonstration was planned for later in the day.
  • The protests reflect a significant shift in U.S. politics: dozens of leftist candidates won primaries this year on platforms calling to end U.S. aid to Israel, a position once considered a liability for candidates.
