Overview
- Israel’s prime minister formally requested a bilateral with President Javier Milei during the UN General Assembly, with September 25 floated as a possible date.
- Milei’s team is evaluating logistics and timing, as the president is currently slated to be in New York around September 22–23 for his address.
- The New York option follows the reprogramming of a planned September 7–10 trip by Netanyahu to Buenos Aires due to concerns related to the ICC arrest order.
- Lawyers Rodolfo Yanzón and Raji Sourani filed a new petition in Judge Sebastián Casanello’s federal court seeking Netanyahu’s detention should he enter Argentina.
- In prior, similar cases, prosecutors consulted the Foreign Ministry and Interpol, found no alerts or red notices, and moved to reject detention requests, signaling arrests are unlikely without new notices.
