Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to return to the US later this month to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
Netanyahu will likely address the 79th session of the gathering of world leaders in New York City on September 26, the official says.
He will also meet world leaders on the sidelines of the confab, the official says, though the schedule is still being crafted.
Netanyahu flew to Washington in late July for high-level meetings with US President Joe Biden and others, though tensions between Jerusalem and Washington remain high.
On Monday, Biden appeared to show exasperation with Netanyahu over the inability to reach a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza, saying the Israeli leader was not doing enough and that he would speak with him “eventually.”
Netanyahu responded that he could not believe the US president would blame him.
