Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will make a short visit to New York to address the United Nations General Assembly, where his speech will be aimed primarily at gaining support from Israeli voters.

The speech will also focus on the war with Iran and close cooperation with the US president.

The Israeli newspaper reported that Netanyahu will leave for the United States today and will return to Israel immediately after his speech at the United Nations without meeting with the American president.

According to the newspaper, with the Knesset elections on October 27 about a month away, Netanyahu’s speech will be aimed mainly at Israeli voters, but he is expected to face a hostile reaction in New York.

The Israeli media described Netanyahu’s meeting schedule as very limited and said that he has scheduled meetings with 2 pro-Israel leaders on the occasion of the General Assembly, but the names of these leaders were not mentioned in the report.

The Israeli newspaper quoted an unnamed source familiar with the preparations for the visit as saying that Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations is a campaign speech whose main purpose is to address Israel’s potential voters.

It should be noted that Netanyahu will address the General Assembly on Thursday at around 9pm Israeli time, which is a prime time broadcast in Israel.
