Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to make a brief visit to New York later this month to address the United Nations General Assembly, with his appearance expected to draw both heightened security measures and demonstrations.

According to Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon, Netanyahu is scheduled to arrive late September 23, deliver his address on September 24, and return to Israel that same night, making the trip roughly 24 hours long.

The visit comes during the U.N.’s annual high-level General Debate, which is scheduled for September 22–28 at U.N. headquarters in Manhattan.

Netanyahu’s appearance is expected to be particularly contentious this year. Danon said he anticipates demonstrations and disruptions similar to those surrounding the prime minister’s address last year, when large numbers of delegates walked out of the General Assembly hall.

The trip also follows a political dispute with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who had previously said he would seek to have Netanyahu arrested over an International Criminal Court warrant related to the Gaza war. Mamdani subsequently acknowledged that New York City does not have the legal authority to enforce the ICC warrant.

Danon criticized Mamdani’s earlier comments as political maneuvering but said Israel considers Netanyahu’s presence at the U.N. important despite the controversy.

It remains unclear whether Netanyahu will meet with President Donald Trump during the New York visit. The two leaders most recently met in July.
