Netanyahu set for one of shortest US trips, to make UN speech with no meeting with Trump
The plan that initially guided preparations for the visit looked different only a few days ago. A meeting with Musk has been removed, and a meeting with Trump no longer appears on the schedule.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to make a brief visit to the United States, arriving in New York for a United Nations General Assembly speech and departing the same day. The prime minister's itinerary has been altered multiple times, with no overnight stay in the U.S. initially planned. The trip, now streamlined, primarily focuses on Netanyahu's UN address.
A previously scheduled meeting with Elon Musk in Texas has been canceled, significantly reducing the length of the visit. Netanyahu is not expected to meet with US President Donald Trump during this trip, as Trump will be in New York earlier in the week, addressing the General Assembly on Tuesday and holding meetings with foreign leaders afterwards.
The shortened stay in New York leaves little room for other bilateral meetings, particularly with leaders from Gulf states. The visit coincides with a busy diplomatic week, with Iran and regional conflicts being central topics. Security arrangements are in place, but no specific threat is known against the General Assembly.
