Multiple sources confirmed this claim as being false. CNN states that the circulating news clip was taken out of context as De Niro is actually filming a TV show in New York. He was not yelling at protestors.

This video shows Robert De Niro rehearsing his lines for his upcoming Netflix show. It was not related to any real protests. It was fact checked by Reuters.

These claims are false, De Niro was rehearsing for his limited series "Zero Day" for netflix. The crowd he was seen shouting at were all paid actors and had nothing to do with the Palestinian genocide.

This is not true the actor was rehearsing for a role in an upcoming movie. 

"But the veteran actor was actually rehearsing a new Netflix show on location, his representative Stan Rosenfield confirmed. “What was seen was erroneous reports of Robert De Niro supposedly yelling at a group of anti-Israeli protesters,” Rosenfield said." (Saperstein 2024)

This is false because no footage shows actual pro-Palestinian demonstrators whom he is supposedly yelling at. It appears as though there are film crews around him which probably indicates this video was taken while he was filming something.
