National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was scheduled to speak this Saturday at the Young Israel of Woodmere synagogue in Long Island, New York.
However, the religious Zionist synagogue with a membership of over 2,500 congregants announced on Thursday that the speaking engagement has been canceled.
While the synagogue did not provide a reason for the cancellation to the public, those close to the minister explained that the rabbi who was scheduled to host him had a death in the family and therefore, the event was canceled.
Ben-Gvir's alternative plans for the weekend have not yet been announced.
On Wednesday night, the National Security Minister addressed students and faculty at Yale University. As he left the building, he was met by anti-Israel protesters who shouted and hurled water bottles at him. Ben Gvir refused to leave the scene and held up a "V" victory sign.
"The minister is doing well and was not injured," a spokesperson for Ben Gvir reported.
During his visit, which kicked off in Miami, Florida, Ben Gvir was invited to a special dinner held in his honor, together with dozens of senior businesspeople.
The event was held at US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. During the event, Ben Gvir was asked to speak to Republican Senators and members of Congress, and was well-received and spoke to them at length.
Also at Mar-a-Lago, Ben Gvir met Republican Congressman Tom Emmer, stressing to him the need to bomb Hamas' storehouses of food. Emmer responded that he is following Ben Gvir's work and supports his position.
