Netanyahu Arrives in US for UN Address Amid Shifting Alliances
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara Netanyahu, arrived in the United States on Thursday evening to attend the UN General Assembly. Netanyahu is scheduled to deliver his address at 9 PM local time. Israeli officials indicated that his stay in New York would be brief, lasting less than eight hours before his return to Israel.
During his visit, Netanyahu is expected to meet with nine world leaders, including five from South America. This focus on South American nations reflects Israel's efforts to strengthen ties with them, particularly as relations with traditional European partners have become strained. These tensions are attributed to the ongoing war in Gaza and the expansion of settlements in the West Bank.
Netanyahu's office announced these meetings but did not mention any planned encounters with American officials during the annual UN General Assembly sessions.
