Israel’s Consul General in New York, Ofir Akunis, announced that voting at the Israeli consulate will take place between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., with participation from consulate staff, the Defense Ministry’s procurement delegation, the Israeli mission to the UN, and Jewish Agency emissaries.
Nearly 1,000 Israeli emissaries are expected to cast ballots at the consulate.
Akunis called the event a “celebration of democracy” and took aim at anti-Israel protesters in the city: “They prefer countries with no democracy or worse—terrorist organizations.”
