A cold reception pointed out by the person concerned who assured that he had gone to New York in order to “restore the truth” After “having heard the lies and slander against my country from many speakers at this podium.” After asserting that his country “wants peace, calls for peace, has already made peace and will make peace again“, the Israeli leader exposed the threat of “wild enemies who only wish […] destroy“the Hebrew State.
“Israel’s current official goal is unattainable, a pipe dream”
No hope of truce in Lebanon
Holding at arm’s length a card called “The Curse”, he pointed to the various members of the Iranian “Axis of Resistance”, whose countries of membership were painted black to the opportunity. Faced with the empty seats of the Iranian delegation, Mr. Netanyahu also warned that “there is no place in Iran that Israel cannot reach“and promised to”hit“enemy territory in the event of an attack on his country, calling for a strengthening of sanctions against the Islamic Republic”which must never acquire nuclear weapons“.
Impossible ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah? “We have the impression that the reluctance comes more from Tel Aviv than from the militia”
