Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has begun preparing this week for his Sept. 26 address to the UN General Assembly, set to take place just one week after the Sept. 17 elections.

While in New York, Netanyahu is expected to meet with US President Donald Trump.

As the outcome of the election and coalition talks could influence the feasibility of the trip, the Prime Minister's Office has informed the hotels where Netanyahu and his staff are staying that they may need to cancel their plans at the last minute.

Meanwhile, preparations are also underway for Netanyahu's trip to Kiev in two weeks' time.

While in the Ukrainian capital, the prime minister is expected to have his first meeting with the country's President Volodymyr Zelensky. The assessment is that Netanyahu will try to use the visit to steal votes away from Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beytenu party, particularly from Ukrainian immigrants who have voted for Lieberman in the past.
