Pro-Palestine Protesters Shut Down NYC's Grand Central Station During Netanyahu Visit

On April 7, pro-Palestine demonstrators organized by Within Our Lifetime shut down Grand Central Station in New York City during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the White House. The protest began outside the United Nations and saw crowds blocking entrances and disrupting train services, leading to restricted access for commuters. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy condemned the protest as 'disgusting' and called for accountability, questioning the response of local authorities. While the organizers claimed the protest was peaceful, critics highlighted its disruptive nature, noting that blocking access is illegal. Witnesses reported heightened police presence around the terminal, although no arrests were made during the incident. The protest was part of a broader movement aiming to raise awareness about Palestinian issues.
