Anti-Israel protesters menacingly chanted “We’re gonna get you” outside of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Big Apple hotel Thursday night, a day before he’s expected to speak at the United Nations.
The rowdy demonstrators swarmed the outside of the Loews Regency New York Hotel on Park Ave. and E. 62nd St. where they said Netanyahu is staying, according to images and social media videos.
“Netanyahu,” the hundreds of protesters repeatedly shouted, according to footage posted by anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime.
“We’re gonna get you.”
The prime minister arrived in town Thursday ahead of his address in front of the UN’s General Assembly as Israel’s military campaign against Hamas in Gaza, sparked by the Oct. 7 terror attack, approaches the one-year mark.
More than two dozen people were taken into custody in Manhattan on Thursday morning during a protest against Netanyahu’s visit to the city.
Thursday night’s protest began near Grand Central Station before the demonstrators moved north approaching the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
There, authorities guarded the front steps of the institution with their bikes.
Police and a handful of protesters clashed, including one person who was put into handcuffs during the showdown, according to footage taken by The Post.
The anti-Israel rabble rousers and police again clashed as the protest moved toward the Upper East Side hotel.
Several people were taken into custody, according to social media footage.
And police later on attempted to clear the area out in front of the hotel. At least one person was taken into custody after part of the building was spray painted.
The NYPD said multiple people were taken into custody, but did not have an exact number.
