New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a settlement with the pro-Israel group Betar US, which will lead to the group’s gradual dissolution in the state due to allegations of harassment against pro-Palestinian activists. The investigation revealed a pattern of bias-motivated harassment and intimidation, prompting James to emphasize that New York will not tolerate such actions.

In response, Betar has denied wrongdoing and criticized Mayor Zohran Mamdani, further exemplifying its contentious stance.
