Netanyahu said expected to address UN on Sept. 27, spend 5 days in US, including Shabbat

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to address the UN General Assembly on Friday, September 27, and will therefore spend the weekend in the United States due to Shabbat, the Ynet news site reports, without citing sources.

The report says the premier will fly aboard the “Wings of Zion” official plane to New York on Tuesday, September 24, and will spend five days away from the country amid preparations for a potential war in Lebanon.

Netanyahu previously spent an unplanned weekend in the US in July after meeting both candidates in the country’s elections, in meetings that were held later in the week than initially expected.
