President Trump is set to discuss the U.S.-Iran war and postwar strategy with leaders from six Gulf Cooperation Council states during the UN General Assembly. On the northern border, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir emphasized the need for the Lebanese army to improve its effectiveness against Hezbollah, with Israel committed to preventing the group's rearmament. Meanwhile, an upcoming UN commemoration of the Durban conference is facing criticism from Israeli and US missions over concerns of antisemitism.
