Netanyahu will carry out official visits to Turkiye and Cyprus in early September, he will then travel to the United States where he will attend the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York.

During his visit to the US, Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with President Joe Biden.

The Israeli premier will also participate in the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2023 (COP28), which will be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in November.
