The Department of Homeland Security has determined the event will require “extensive federal interagency support,” according to law enforcement sources.
American support for Israel is critical, said Eric D. Fingerhut, president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America.
“Israel must eliminate the terrorist threat on its border and restore safety and security to its people,” Fingerhut added.
But Israel has agreed to four-hour, daily pauses in military operations in Gaza to allow for evacuations.
The website for the “March for Israel” event says organizers have been in touch with law enforcement in the lead-up to the rally and have “retained the services of additional security assets based on recommendations of law enforcement and our security advisors.”
