Fearing a provocation by Adams: Netanyahu's plane will not land at JFK Airport in New York

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Wing of Zion plane will not land at JFK Airport in New York this year, due to concerns that Mayor Eric Adams will not allow the aircraft to remain on the ground for the duration of the visit. The privilege of allowing a leader's plane to remain on the ground was previously reserved only for the leaders of Israel and Iran. Security officials decided on the route change, and now Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey or a nearby military airfield are being considered as alternatives. Netanyahu's visit will take place under unprecedented security arrangements, with the US Secret Service significantly increasing its involvement and accompanying the Prime Minister from landing to takeoff. Netanyahu is expected to arrive in the United States next Wednesday afternoon, and his speech at the UN General Assembly is scheduled for Thursday at 2:00 PM (9:00 PM Israel time). Mayor Adams, who previously stated he would arrest Netanyahu and then backtracked, is encouraging protests against the Prime Minister. Israel is preparing for provocations from representatives of countries who may demonstratively walk out of the hall. The Prime Minister is not expected to meet with US President Donald Trump, who will leave New York before Netanyahu's arrival. The Prime Minister's Office declined to comment on the details.
