## Summary

Activists and New York State Senator Jabari Brisport have called for military-related cargo shipments from JFK Airport to Israel to stop. Their protest, part of the “Break the Chain” campaign, followed reporting that cargo flights have carried materials including nitrocellulose and bomb components, raising concerns about the airport’s role and public safety.

The Intercept report cited open-source data linking weapons flown from JFK to attacks in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran, and said thousands of pounds of parts for bunker-buster bombs passed through the airport during the US-Israeli war on Iran, which began on 28 February. Brisport asked the Port Authority to release its agreements with Challenge Airlines and raised concerns about hazardous cargo rules. The Port Authority said it prioritises safety and that airlines and the federal government determine what can be carried.
