Senior US officials to 'Post': Trump-Netanyahu meeting not currently planned at UNGA
According to the latest schedule seen by US officials, Netanyahu is expected to arrive in New York only after Trump has already departed the city.
Senior US officials have confirmed that a meeting between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not presently scheduled during Netanyahu's upcoming visit to the United States. The prime minister's New York visit is anticipated to be relatively short, as he is not expected to arrive until after Trump's departure.
The official did not disclose whether Netanyahu had formally requested the meeting, citing a policy against discussing such requests. Nevertheless, Israel and the Middle East are projected to be significant topics during Trump's UN visit, with the Iranian nuclear issue and progress on the 20-point Gaza peace plan expected to be central themes.
Iran will likely be a key focal point in Trump's discussions with Gulf Cooperation Council leaders. The administration believes Iran's leverage over the Strait of Hormuz is waning due to alternative infrastructure and US pressure. Following Trump's UN appearance, the diplomatic focus will shift to Washington, where he is set to welcome Chinese President Xi Jinping for three days.
The agenda for the summit includes discussions on AI, the US-China trade truce, rare-earth exports, and precursor chemicals used in fentanyl production. A high-profile guest list for the state dinner is anticipated, featuring tech CEOs and senior administration officials.
