Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to travel to New York on September 24, coinciding with the commencement of the high-level General Debate at the annual UN General Assembly. His office confirmed that he will remain in the United States until September 28. This visit marks Netanyahu’s return to the U.S. following his previous trip in July, during which he delivered a congressional address and held discussions with U.S. officials.
During this upcoming trip, Netanyahu is expected to engage with various world leaders and address key issues facing Israel and the region. His participation in the UN General Assembly underscores the ongoing geopolitical challenges, particularly in relation to the recent conflict in Gaza and Israel’s diplomatic relations with the U.S. and other nations.
Netanyahu’s office has not yet confirmed whether he will meet with President Joe Biden during this visit, which adds a layer of uncertainty to the trip, especially given the evolving political landscape in both countries which centered around the hostage release.
