The Prime Minister’s Office announces that last night it sent a delegation of 20 family members of hostages held in Gaza to the United Nations General Assembly’s High-Level Week in New York.
The delegation, organized in coordination with the IDF, Defense Ministry, and Foreign Ministry, is slated to meet with the Czech and Bulgarian presidents, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, the World Health Organization, and the Swedish and Serbian foreign ministers.
Other family members of hostages will join Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his flight to New York, currently slated for Wednesday.
