قبل زيارة نيويورك.. تغيير لافت في مسار طائرة نتنياهو
(opens the publisher’s site)Netanyahu changed his official plane's landing to New Jersey and shortened his New York stop ahead of his United Nations General Assembly address.
- The official plane will land in New Jersey rather than New York's JFK; Netanyahu arrives Thursday, addresses the Assembly and leaves that evening.
- He cancelled a planned Texas meeting with Elon Musk and will not meet President Trump, while arrangements are sought with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
- Mayor Zahran Mamdani pledged during his campaign to seek Netanyahu's arrest under the International Criminal Court's warrant.
- Mamdani called Netanyahu "not welcome" and urged federal authorities to act on the warrant, conceding city authorities lack independent authority to execute it.
- Channel 13 security sources said Netanyahu will not stay overnight in New York for security reasons.
