Tel Aviv (Lord Media): Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has canceled his proposed visit to the United States due to fears of arrest and protests. Ben-Gvir was scheduled to attend a United Nations policing conference in New York, but decided against it following demands for legal action and protests by human rights organizations.
Reports indicate that these organizations believe Ben-Gvir should be investigated and face legal proceedings, leading to planned large-scale demonstrations during his visit.
Israeli sources suggest that potential legal complications and the protest campaign prompted Ben-Gvir to cancel the trip. This marks the second instance in recent times where Ben-Gvir has canceled a visit to the United States.
As of now, neither the Israeli government nor US officials have issued an official statement on the matter, while human rights organizations continue to press their demands.
Political analysts note that Ben-Gvir’s controversial policies have subjected him to international criticism, and his foreign trips often become focal points for protests.
