Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed early Thursday morning for New York to address the UN General Assembly, expected around 9:00 PM. His office released the list of planned meetings: the presidents of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Panama, Ethiopia, the vice president of Colombia, and the prime ministers of Greece, Slovenia, and Papua New Guinea. US President Donald Trump is not on the list, nor are other senior leaders. The office claimed that many world leaders requested meetings, but due to a tight schedule and the need to return before the Sukkot holiday, Netanyahu could only accommodate some. His wife Sara joined the flight. The report notes that this year Israel is more isolated than ever, and a great effort is being made to advance meetings.
