Protesters Rally Outside Biden-Netanyahu Meeting in Manhattan
Protesters carrying Israeli flags gathered outside the InterContinental Hotel on Manhattan’s Lexington Avenue on Wednesday morning, September 20, ahead of a meeting between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
This footage by Gili Getz shows the crowds, who were protesting Netanyahu’s judicial reform, chanting “shame” as a motorcade approaches the hotel.
The White House said the two leaders discussed a potential deal with Saudi Arabia, Israel’s commitment to democracy and security, and Palestinian interests.
Biden and Netanyahu were both in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly, which began on Monday.
