The Metropolitan Transit Authority says New York City’s Grand Central Terminal has been closed “until further protest” as the result of a demonstration calling for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group.
Photos from the train station show police detaining numerous protesters, whom are clad in black shirts with slogans such as “Jews say ceasefire now.” The protest was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, an anti-Zionist group.
