Why does announcing it ensure that he couldn't do it if it were legal? Because Netanyahu would stay away?

Fidel Castro came to New York at the height of the Cold War and no police agency touched him.

And as an aside. Castro was told that he couldn't go anywhere except Manhattan. He agreed and took rooms at the Hotel Terresa on 125 Street in the middle of Harlem. He was a big hit with the locals.

Because Trump would be sure there are federal thugs there to intervene and because Netanyahu would stay in a safe location at all times.
