NY activists plan protest against Ben Gvir visit that spokesperson says isn’t happening

Anti-Israel activist groups in New York, including the Palestinian Youth Movement and Jewish Voice for Peace, claim that Israeli far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir plans to attend a United Nations police summit in July. They organized a protest at the UN and urged New York State Attorney General Letitia James to investigate him as a 'war criminal.' However, Ben Gvir’s office and the Israeli Consulate General in New York denied the visit, stating he is not planning to travel. A UN official confirmed he was not registered for the event, though registration could still occur. Ben Gvir, a controversial figure linked to far-right policies and past terrorism convictions, faces opposition from liberal Jewish groups who reject his presence in New York.
