Netanyahu Lands in New Jersey Ahead of UN Address Amid Security Concerns
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu landed at a military airport in New Jersey on Tuesday, ahead of his address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The decision to land in New Jersey, rather than directly in New York, was reportedly due to difficulties coordinating with U.S. authorities and concerns that New York City Mayor Eric Adams might order the plane to depart immediately upon arrival, preventing Netanyahu's return.
In an unprecedented move, Netanyahu's visit to New York will be extremely brief, lasting only a few hours. He will not stay overnight and is scheduled to depart for Israel on Tuesday evening. Sources familiar with the matter suggest this decision was made out of concern over potential protests during his visit.
Netanyahu is set to deliver a speech at the UN General Assembly, where he is expected to discuss various issues concerning Israel.
