Orthodox Jews gathered near the headquarters of the United Nations in New York to protest Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's speech at the 76th session of its General Assembly. They carried banners that read: "The world must recognize that Israel is not a Jewish state," "The State of Israel is totally rejected by Judaism" and "The Torah demands all Palestine to be returned to Palestinian sovereignty again," while chanting slogans against Bennett during the protest.
