Pro-Palestinian protesters block airport access roads in New York

Pro-Palestinian protesters briefly blocked entrance roads to airports in New York and Los Angeles, snarling traffic and forcing some travelers to bypass the jammed roadway on foot. The demonstrations demanded an end to the Israel-Hamas war and expanded rights for Palestinians. In New York, activists locked arms and caused a 20-minute standstill on the expressway leading up to the airport. In Los Angeles, protesters shut down a major thoroughfare leading to the airport, impacting traffic for roughly two hours. The number of arrests in Los Angeles was uncertain.
