The Houston Young Republicans (HYR) canceled a general meeting scheduled for Tuesday night in Houston, Texas, due to public safety concerns after venues that agreed to host an event with Israeli General Consul @LiviaLinkRaviv received threats of violence. The Houston GOP group has vowed to reschedule the event in a larger venue with added security. This incident is part of a broader pattern of protests and disruptions linked to the Israel-Gaza conflict, affecting various events and meetings across different locations. Notably, King's College London canceled an event featuring a former IDF soldier turned charity boss after receiving death threats. Pro-Palestinian protesters have also disrupted proceedings in several councils and parliamentary sittings, including the NSW Parliament, where supporters shut down a session after storming in and labeling Premier Chris Minns a "disgrace". Similar incidents occurred at the University of Kentucky, where student protesters disrupted a speech by British Jewish conservative pundit Ian Haworth with anti-Israel slogans, and at a Hastings Borough Council meeting, which was abandoned due to a protest.
