Netanyahu to Make Brief UN Visit Amid Security Concerns
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to arrive in New York on Thursday for an exceptionally brief diplomatic visit lasting only a few hours. During his stay, Netanyahu will deliver his main address to the UN General Assembly before returning to Israel the same day. This marks a departure from his previous UN visits, where he typically stayed for several days and held numerous political meetings on the sidelines.
Officials in the Prime Minister's Office stated that the reason for the short visit is security-related, citing concerns about potential threats to Netanyahu during his time in New York, although no specific intelligence was disclosed. The visit involves complex logistical arrangements and significant involvement from the U.S. Secret Service to ensure his security and movements.
In related security news, the cost of securing Netanyahu's recent visit to the Western Wall for Selichot prayers on the eve of Yom Kippur was reported. The extensive security measures, including advanced anti-drone technology and the deployment of hundreds of police officers and Border Police, are estimated to have cost approximately 1.5 million shekels.
