Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in New York on Thursday with several world leaders ahead of a critical address to the 80th United Nations General Assembly on Friday, the Prime Minister’s Office said.

They included Argentine President Javier Milei, Paraguay’s President Santiago Peña and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. Netanyahu landed on Thursday in New York, from where he will travel to Washington, D.C., for a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday.

In his meeting with Argentina’s leader, Netanyahu “expressed his deep appreciation for President Milei, a true friend of the State of Israel and the Jewish People, who has stood steadfast against the systematic bias directed at Israel at the U.N. and in other international forums,” the PMO said. “The two leaders discussed ways to expand bilateral cooperation on economic matters and in other areas.”
