Israel's far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has cancelled a planned trip to New York next week following calls for his prosecution and plans for protests against his visit, various reports said on Sunday.
Ben-Gvir was expected to lead a ministry delegation to a UN police summit in the city on 7-8 July. Sources in the ministry said it had decided not to attend the event.
This is the second time this month Ben-Gvir has been forced to cancel a trip to the US. The extremist minister had planned to travel to the US for a holiday in June but had difficulties obtaining a visa.
