Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to land in New York on Tuesday morning, ahead of his participation in the UN General Assembly and his meetings with world leaders.
This is Netanyahu's second stop on his trip to the United States, after meeting yesterday in California with X owner and Tesla founder Elon Musk.

The prime minister is expected to meet Turkish President Recep Erdogan today (eight years after their last meeting), Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Paraguayan President Santiago Peña. Netanyahu is expected to meet US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the rally tomorrow.
The main issue on the table of Netanyahu andErdogan, who in the past clashed head-on with each other, will be gas. Erdogan very much wants Israel to export the gas in its economic waters to Europe. The decision will not be made so quickly, but it will have significant geostrategic implications.

For a meeting withZelensky, who is expected to be the central figure at the UN General Assembly, Netanyahu will arrive empty-handed. In other words, he is not expected to announce new Israeli aid to a country under Russian boot attack. The political leadership believes that Israel is giving enough to the Ukrainians.
