Netanyahu's brief New York visit reflects tension in US-Israel relations

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to New York to address the UN General Assembly is expected to last less than eight hours.

Postxronika.az reports, citing Reuters, that Netanyahu stayed in the US for a week last year and met with President Donald Trump.

This time, the brevity of his visit reflects the tense period in US-Israel relations.

According to Netanyahu's office, the prime minister will meet with nine world leaders during the trip.

Five of them are leaders of Latin American countries, with Israel seeking to strengthen ties with these states.

Netanyahu's office did not provide information about meetings with US officials on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
