A SUSPICIOUS package at the Israeli Consulate, the second one in a week, brought the FBI and NYPD to its Midtown door on Monday, officials said.

The package was discovered around 2 p.m. at the Second Ave. building at 42nd St. It wasn’t immediatel­y clear how it arrived, police said.

Investigat­ors had yet to determine if it contained hazardous materials.

The consulate also went into lockdown Friday, when a letter threatenin­g the Israeli leader arrived full of powder.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in the city Monday to deliver a speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
