Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir is expected to travel to New York next month to attend the United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit (UNCOPS), one of the world’s largest international gatherings focused on law enforcement and security cooperation.

The conference, held periodically at UN headquarters, brings together police commissioners, law enforcement leaders, and senior security officials from more than 100 countries to discuss policing, public safety, and international security challenges.

While the event traditionally draws police chiefs and professional law enforcement personnel, participation by government ministers is relatively uncommon. For that reason, Ben Gvir’s planned attendance is already attracting attention.

The visit is expected to take place just months before Israelis head to the polls, adding a political dimension to the trip. Observers have noted that the timing is particularly noteworthy, with the conference scheduled to occur roughly two months before the national elections.

Ben Gvir’s participation will place him alongside senior police and security officials from around the world at a forum that serves as a major venue for discussing international law enforcement cooperation and emerging security threats.

No further details about Ben Gvir’s expected meetings or schedule during the visit have yet been released.
