Local councilwoman Inna Vernikov commented that the self-proclaimed "victory" of the organizers only proved to be disruptive for New Yorkers.

Crowds of Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at two New York City-area airports to protest against Israel and the IDF on one of the busiest travel days of the year, US media reported.

A caravan of demonstrators stopped traffic surrounding John F. Kennedy International and LaGuardia airports, with demonstrators with bullhorns shouting, "NYPD, KKK, IDF they’re all the same!" 

New York's Port Authority transportation would soon have to close all entrances to JFK for anyone without a boarding pass.

Airtrain services and the ability to enter airport grounds were closed to cars without proof of a ticket, the protest organizers from "Within Our Lifetime" told US media.

The protests came a week after another of their kind occurred in New York City.
