This is important news on this Friday morning, especially as today is the day the leader of Hamas called for a 'global day of jihad.' The New York Police Commissioner, Edward Caban, is currently in Qatar. Why? We don't seem to know.
Meanwhile, in New York, officials are promising a 'surge' of law enforcement ahead of the 'day of jihad' and anticipated protests.
The New York Daily News reports:
Top elected officials promised a “surge” in law enforcement presence throughout the Big Apple on Friday as New York State braces for mass protests and potential violence stemming from the war between Israel and Hamas.
Still, Mayor Adams, Gov. Hochul and top NYPD brass assured New Yorkers there are no credible threats to the city or state.
“With large-scale protests planned for tomorrow, we must remain vigilant,” Adams said at a Thursday evening news conference. “New York City is the most diverse city in the world, and protecting our residents is the most sacred responsibility that we have.”
Police Commissioner Edward Caban did not attend the briefing held at City Hall because he was out of the country, a source told the Daily News. He is visiting Qatar, according to a second source, though it’s unclear what he’s doing there.
Qatar is home to the leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh.

Exactly our question.
