A fundraiser with far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir at Brooklyn's Jewish Children's Museum was canceled shortly after being announced. The event was organized by Beis Shmuel Chabad as a benefit for Chabad of Hebron, but the cancellation was attributed to unforeseen changes in the minister's schedule. Ben Gvir's itinerary, which includes stops in New York, Washington, and Miami, is being closely scrutinized due to his far-right views and previous convictions. Several American Jewish groups have stated they have no intention of meeting with him, while an Israeli protest movement expressed satisfaction with the cancellation.
