Netanyahu also to meet Biden, Erdogan as UN General Assembly begins session
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.
On encountering the Israeli delegation, the Ukrainian leader made note of the "very big team" receiving him, which included UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan and Mossad chief David Barnea.
Netanyahu committed to continuing the aid given to Ukraine, according to the Prime Minister's Office, including dealing with landmines.
In a conversation with Erdogan, Netanyahu hailed the "strengthening" ties between Israel and Turkey. Relations have warmed after a decade of cold since the 2011 Mavi Marmara incident, in which pro-Palestinian activists setting off from Turkey attempted to break Israel's blockade on the Gaza Strip.
