Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to arrive in New York for a brief visit, during which he will address the United Nations General Assembly.
What happened
Netanyahu's visit comes amid a tense international climate, with Israel facing criticism from various countries. He is expected to meet with leaders from several nations, including Argentina, Bolivia, and Greece. However, he will not meet with US President Donald Trump, despite their previously close relationship.
Netanyahu's speech at the UN is expected to focus on Iran and its nuclear program. He may also address recent terrorist attacks in Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The speech is seen as an opportunity for Netanyahu to appeal to the Israeli public, ahead of upcoming elections.
Protests are expected to take place outside the UN, with demonstrators planning to criticize Netanyahu's policies and Israel's actions in the Palestinian territories. The Israeli government has expressed concerns about potential violence and has taken steps to ensure the prime minister's safety.
