Prime Minister Yair Lapid is expected to seek a meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York this week.
The prime minister is said to be hoping to meet with Abdullah as tensions and concerns are high ahead of the High Holidays in Israel, which are often marked by large gatherings at the Western Wall that could provoke security concerns.
Lapid is already slated to sit down with new UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
