This comes after NYC Mayor Mamdani admitted that his office lacked the authority to arrest the prime minister, though he emphasized that Netanyahu “is not welcome in New York City.”
Unusual involvement by the US Secret Service has been evident in preparations for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the UN General Assembly in New York, a diplomatic source told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.
The source, familiar with the details, also confirmed that Netanyahu will land at Newark Airport in New Jersey, closer to Manhattan than JFK Airport in Queens, where the prime minister’s plane usually parks.
The source denied that the decision could be connected to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani or to concerns over a possible provocation. He clarified that the matter stems from discussions with the airport over where the plane will be parked during the current visit and how it will be secured.
