       Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak Friday at the U.N. General Assembly, and New York City cops were bracing for further protests. Dozens of antiwar activists, calling for an end to Israel’s military campaigns over Gaza and Lebanon, were already arrested on Manhattan streets on Tuesday. Among those planning to demonstrate against Netanyahu’s visit is the family of Nimrod Cohen, an Israeli soldier held in captivity in Gaza after militant group Hamas launched its deadly Oct. 7 strike on southern Israel.
