Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, will travel to the United States under circumstances that appear to be influenced by fears of widespread public protests. Netanyahu's trip to New York, which was planned for a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, has faced serious changes.

Concerns About Public Protests

News sources report that Netanyahu's decision not to land his private plane at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York stems from security concerns and the possibility of an eviction order from Zahran Mamdani, the Mayor of New York. Instead of New York, his plane will land at a military base in New Jersey or Newark Airport.

This relocation has also been attributed to serious difficulties in security and logistical coordination between the Israeli regime and American officials. It seems Netanyahu is highly concerned that his trip to New York could become a venue for protest demonstrations.

Travel Plans and Canceled Meetings

In light of these concerns, Netanyahu has significantly reduced his schedule in New York and completely canceled his overnight stay in the city. He has also canceled his previous stop in Texas to meet Elon Musk, citing difficulties in coordinating refueling and the American side's refusal to make last-minute arrangements.

Netanyahu's trip to the United States will last only a few hours. According to the schedule, his plane will arrive in America on Thursday morning, and after his speech at 2 PM local time (9 PM in the occupied territories), he will immediately leave the United States on the same day. There is no planned meeting between Netanyahu and Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, and only the possibility of a meeting with Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, has been mentioned.

The Israeli diplomatic delegation at the United Nations is also preparing to face protest scenarios. These scenarios include representatives from many countries leaving the hall or boycotting the General Assembly during Netanyahu's speech. It seems that this trip, especially given the current circumstances, has become a major challenge for the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime.
