Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced that "during his visit to the UN General Assembly in New York, he will meet with the presidents of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Panama, Ethiopia and the vice president of Colombia, as well as the prime ministers of Greece, Slovenia and Papua New Guinea." The office claimed that "leaders of many countries requested to meet with the prime minister during the visit, but due to a tight schedule and the need to return before the start of the Sukkot holiday, the prime minister could only accommodate some of them."
