Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is huddling with senior aides as he waits for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with the two scheduled to meet at the UN now.
The Ukrainian leader is arriving after delivering an address to the UN General Assembly in which he accused Russia of kidnapping children, saying it was carrying out a genocide.
The two are tentatively slated to sit down for 30 minutes, with the Ukrainian leader expected to press Israel for missile defense supplies, a Ukrainian official earlier told The Times of Israel.
