Benjamin Netanyahu will become the first Israeli prime minister to visit Fiji.
His planned visit to the South Pacific island is expected to take place in February next year, when Mr Netanyahu will also spend time in Singapore and Australia.
Mr Netanyahu said the trip was part of a vital diplomatic effort to win favour for Israel at the UN .
“Why am I going to Fiji?” he asked in a video address to the Jewish Federations of North America’s general assembly in Washington DC.
