The same security demands are in place in New York City, with NYPD ordering all on duty officers to report in uniform Friday.
Attorney General Matt Platkin says that since the terror attacks in Israel, his office has been in communication with the FBI.
There's no credible threat, thankfully, against any individual or place in New Jersey, particularly the Jewish community, but also our Palestinian community is feeling unsafe.
And my job is to make sure that they feel protected and we will do that.
Meanwhile, on the ground in Gaza, there are fears of a Palestinian genocide after the Israeli government demanded more than 1 million Palestinians evacuate the area, despite there being no safe place to go amid the bombing of the region, the United Nations says that an evacuation would be impossible, all without devastating humanitarian consequences.
And they're calling for the Israeli government to rescind their evacuation order.
