Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the US to address the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. During his visit, he intends to defend Israel and IDF soldiers against false claims, highlight Israel's war achievements regarding Iran, and respond to criticism regarding Hamas and the West Bank.
