Ben-Gvir New York Police-Summit Trip Off Amid Lawfare Push

Jerusalem Post metadata lists a July 4 21:01 publication, after Walla's 19:21 IDT Hebrew report, that the anti-Israel Hind Rajab Foundation claimed Itamar Ben Gvir's planned New York trip for the July 7-8 UN Chiefs of Police Summit was canceled because of legal complaints. JPost's own caveat matters: Ben Gvir's office has not confirmed legal pressure as the cause. Haaretz says ministry sources said no delegation would be sent despite initial plans, while Times of Israel and JTA earlier reported his spokesperson, Israel's New York consulate and a UN official said he was not coming or not registered. Israel should protect officials from hostile lawfare while avoiding overseas distractions that hand adversaries a stage.
