On New Year's Day, a significant travel disruption occurred at JFK Airport due to an anti-Israel rally by the Palestinian-led activist group Within Our Lifetime. Protesters blocked traffic, leading to police intervention and delays for travelers on one of the busiest days of the year. The rally, which included inflammatory chants and Palestinian flags, resulted in summonses for seven protesters and impacted flight schedules, with 60 flights delayed. The protest later moved to LaGuardia Airport, causing further congestion. Public reaction was mixed, with some calling for harsher measures against the protesters.
