Trump Won't Meet Netanyahu at UN General Assembly Amid Scheduling Conflicts
Senior officials in the Trump administration have stated that U.S. President Donald Trump will not meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in New York. The administration cited "scheduling constraints" as the reason for the canceled meeting.
Another U.S. administration source suggested that Netanyahu's presence in New York would be limited due to the approaching elections in Israel. Netanyahu's speech at the General Assembly is scheduled for next Thursday, by which time President Trump is expected to have already returned to Washington D.C.
The decision means the two leaders will miss an opportunity for a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the major international summit, a common occurrence for world leaders.
