NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters on Thursday that her department expects a wave of protests around the U.N. General Assembly next week, set to feature President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian  — even as she and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani maintained little would change regarding the police response compared to years past.

The two joined officials from the Secret Service and State Department at One Police Plaza to brief the press on security measures and what the mayor described as a “whole-of-department response” to head off any risks to the international gathering. This will include “full deployment” of patrolmen and elite police units, as well as restrictions on traffic, flight patterns and pedestrian access in the area around the U.N. headquarters. 

But both took pains to emphasize that, despite ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran — and despite Mamdani’s since-abandoned threat to arrest Netanyahu if he visited the city — these precautions were largely the same as those the city always takes around the annual geopolitical conference.

“This is standard procedure,” Mamdani asserted. “There are no known, specific or credible threats against the United Nations General Assembly or our city.”

Nonetheless, Tisch acknowledged that protests would greet world leaders as the high-level gathering begins on Tuesday. The summit of top global statesmen will see Netanyahu arrive in New York on Sept. 23, the same day Pezeshkian is scheduled to address the session. Yet Tisch said her agency did not intend to take steps “out of the ordinary” for the event.

“I can tell you we’re expecting multiple protests every day,” she said. “As always, we have no tolerance for violence or destruction of property or breaking the law.”

Mamdani in recent days has dampened his own fiery rhetoric around Israel and Netanyahu, backing off prior suggestions that his fellow critics of the Jewish state and its military actions in Gaza take their grievances into the street. But he told reporters no figure from the NYPD had asked him to do so.

“The conversations that I’ve had with the PD have been purely about standard preparations for the event, as well as standard preparations for keeping New Yorkers safe,” he said.
