⚡️🇮🇱🇺🇳🇺🇸 — Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu landed at a military airfield in New Jersey ahead of his UN General Assembly address at 2 p.m. ET in New York, not at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The landing arrangement was reportedly driven by difficulties coordinating with U.S. authorities and concerns that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani could order the Israeli aircraft Wing of Zion to depart immediately rather than remain until Netanyahu’s retur. In an unprecedented arrangement, Netanyahu is expected to stay in New York only several hours, not overnight, and depart for Israel that evening. Sources familiar with the details assess the decision was made amid concerns over protests — Ynet.

➡️ Journalist Trey Yingst reported Netanyahu’s address later today is expected to cover the war with Iran, the forthcoming anniversary of the October 7 attack, and broader issues, potentially including Mamdani. In a recent video statement, Netanyahu previewed the speech by saying, “There will also be surprises,” vowing to defend Israel and IDF personnel against what he characterized as “terrible lies” being spread at the United Nations. Yingst added the address follows a Wednesday car-ramming attack in the West Bank in which the son of Israel’s ambassador to the United States was critically injured, an attack that contributed to the context surrounding the speech.
