Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak at the United Nations on Thursday, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.

He was initially slated to speak on Friday and remain in New York for the Jewish Sabbath. By moving the speech, he will be able to return to Israel on Friday.

Netanyahu’s trip to the US has been shortened due to the major escalation with Hezbollah.
