Benjamin Netanyahu travels to New York for UN General Assembly address
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is traveling to New York to address the United Nations General Assembly. The visit is expected to be brief, lasting approximately six hours, as Netanyahu plans to return to Israel the same night to prepare for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
Due to security concerns and potential protests, Netanyahu’s official aircraft, the Wing of Zion, is expected to land at a military airport in New Jersey or Newark Liberty International Airport rather than John F. Kennedy International Airport. This decision follows tensions with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who previously suggested Netanyahu could be arrested under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for alleged war crimes.
Netanyahu’s appearance at the UN comes amid intense international scrutiny regarding Israel’s military actions in Gaza and the West Bank. His schedule includes meetings with several world leaders, including the presidents of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Panama, and Ethiopia, but notably excludes meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump or Arab leaders. The visit is also marked by significant domestic political pressure in Israel ahead of upcoming elections.
