usnews.com

Middle East leaders are gathering at the UN General Assembly in New York as regional wars continue, with conflicts involving Iran, Yemen, and Gaza expected to dominate the agenda. US President Donald Trump will meet Gulf Arab leaders but not Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose relationship with Trump appears strained. Iran's president accused the US of trying to force surrender, while Gulf states called for Iran to halt attacks on shipping lanes. Airstrikes in Yemen killed seven people, and US and Iraqi officials discussed disarming militias. Netanyahu faces reelection at the end of October, and his UN speech is expected to draw protests.
