The anti-Israel Hind Rajab Foundation said Saturday that National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir canceled his trip to New York due to legal pressure it had exerted. Ben Gvir had previously said he canceled a personal visit to the US for a wedding, accusing the leftist media of harassment.
The Hind Rajab Foundation, an organization that campaigns against Israeli officials abroad, declared victory Saturday evening after National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir canceled his trip to New York. The foundation claimed it had exerted legal pressure that led to the cancellation. Ben Gvir had earlier said he was canceling a personal trip for a friend's daughter's wedding after what he described as intrusive media inquiries about his visa application. The foundation, whose namesake is a Palestinian child killed in 2024, has in the past pursued legal cases against Israeli officials internationally. The event underscores the ongoing legal and public-relations battles surrounding Israeli officials traveling abroad.
