"All public leaders in the United States, at both the national and local levels, must immediately and firmly condemn this assault and the calls for violence such as the so-called 'global intifada,'" the Israeli consul general stated.

The New York City Police Department is probing an assault that took place at 12:48 p.m. on Monday in front of the kosher eatery Mr. Broadway in midtown Manhattan as a potential hate crime, the department told JNS.

Responding to a 911 call, NYPD officers saw a man with “injuries to the right side of his face.” The victim was subsequently taken to Mount Sinai Beth Israel in stable condition, the department said. “There is no arrest, and the investigation remains ongoing by the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force.”
