video shows Police arrest the protesters and load them onto an airport bus while they are taken into custody.

At JFK Airport, video of the protest showed demonstrators banding together to form a line that blocked traffic. Protesters held signs demanding a free Palestine and chanted: “From the sea to the river, Palestine will live forever.”

According to the DailyMail, police said there were 26 arrests for disorderly conduct and obstruction of vehicular traffic.

“During the disruption, the Port Authority dispatched two airport buses and provided rides to travelers involved in security so they could reach the airport safely,” the Port Authority media department said.

“The LAPD’s goal is to ensure public safety for all while promoting the First Amendment rights of peaceful protesters. However, this was not a peaceful demonstration,” LAPD officials said said on X, Wednesday. “Protesters threw a police officer to the ground, blocked Century Boulevard with construction debris, street signs, tree branches and concrete blocks, and attacked innocent bystanders in their vehicles.”

Police officers reopened the entrance ramp at 10 a.m. Wednesday and traffic continued as usual. No flights were affected airport police said.
