Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not bring journalists with him on his visit to the United Nations in the US later this month, says his office, citing security considerations.

“Due to technical arrangements related to seating and security, it has been decided to reduce the number of passengers on the upcoming Wing of Zion flight, including journalists and some of the Prime Minister’s entourage,” the PMO tells The Times of Israel.

Netanyahu will be in New York on September 24-29, and will address the General Assembly on the morning of September 26.
