Netanyahu at the UN: I did not intend to come here
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, sharply criticized Iran at the United Nations General Assembly on Friday. Meanwhile, Israeli officials announced that they are preparing for a possible ground invasion of Lebanon, and Netanyahu has distanced himself from a U.S.-backed proposal for a 21-day ceasefire.
As Benjamin Netanyahu approached the podium for his speech on Friday, many delegations left the assembly hall, while some in the audience attempted to applaud Netanyahu.
At the beginning of his remarks, he said, ‘I did not intend to come here this year. My country is at war, fighting for its survival. But after hearing many lies and accusations from speakers at this podium against my country, I decided to come here and set the record straight.’
