Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu landed at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York State, outside New York City, ahead of his address at the UN General Assembly. Netanyahu bypassed New York's JFK Airport due to coordination difficulties with U.S. authorities and concerns that Mayor Zahran Madani might order the plane to depart immediately upon his arrival, preventing it from waiting for Netanyahu's return. In an unprecedented move, Netanyahu's visit will be brief, lasting only a few hours without an overnight stay, as he is scheduled to fly back to Israel the same evening. Sources familiar with the matter suggest this decision was made out of concern over potential protests.
