        "summary": "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced he will travel to New York from 23 to 25 September to attend the UN General Assembly, despite an outstanding International Criminal Court arrest warrant. Netanyahu is said to be unconcerned about potential arrest, as the United States does not recognise the ICC's jurisdiction. His visit is expected to draw protests, whilst major Jewish organisations plan a counter-demonstration against antisemitism.",
        "content": "<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced plans to\ntravel to New York to attend the United Nations leaders\u2019 summit. The\nvisit is scheduled to take place from 23 to 25 September.<\/p>\n<p>According to the information gathered, Netanyahu is scheduled to\ndeliver a speech before the UN General Assembly on Thursday, 24\nSeptember. This routine annual visit will proceed despite the shadow of\nan arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu is reported to be unconcerned about the possibility of\narrest whilst in the United States, as the US does not recognise the ICC\ntribunal\u2019s authority.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the ICC issued an arrest warrant on the grounds that\nthere was strong evidence Netanyahu used starvation as a weapon of war\nthrough restrictions on humanitarian aid and the targeting of civilians\nin the military campaign against Hamas. Israel has firmly rejected these\nallegations.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, stressed the importance\nof the Prime Minister\u2019s attendance. He also criticised Mayor Zohran\nMamdani, who called Netanyahu a war criminal and called for his arrest.\nDanon dismissed the move as a mere political manoeuvre, noting that the\nNew York city government has no authority to detain Netanyahu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlaming Israel has now become a trend in politics. For us, it is\nvery important for the Prime Minister to be present,\u201d Danon said.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu\u2019s presence in New York is expected to be met with waves of\nprotest. In addition to anti-Zionist demonstrations anticipated outside\nthe UN building, Israeli left-wing groups in New York also frequently\nprotest Netanyahu\u2019s domestic policies during his annual visits.<\/p>\n<p>Danon also anticipates the possibility of boycotts inside the\nchamber, similar to last year when many delegations staged a walkout as\nNetanyahu began speaking at the podium. \u201cI expect there will be a\nsimilar \u2018show\u2019 this year,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In response to these protests, several major Jewish organisations are\nreported to be planning a rally against antisemitism to be held to\ncoincide with the UN General Assembly.
