Rudy Giuliani is mixing business with pleasure on his tip to Israel.
Guiliani, the former New York mayor and one of President Trump’s personal lawyers, was in Israel this week for a business conference, but on Wednesday, he found some time to let loose.
At a restaurant in Mahane Yehuda, an open-air marketplace in the center of Jerusalem, Giuliani was filmed dancing to the Major Lazer song “Watch Out For This” (feat. Busy Signal, The Flexican, and FS Green) with a few female customers, and whipping a cloth napkin over his head.
The footage was posted to Twitter on Wednesday by Yael Freidson, a reporter for the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.

Giuliani may have cracked down on dance clubs as mayor, but it’s clear that he knows how to have a good time.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
