Before boarding his plane to New York, Prime Minister Benjamin tells reporters that he plans to denounce world leaders who recognized a Palestinian state this week during his speech before the UN General Assembly on Friday.
“At the UN General Assembly, I will speak our truth — the truth about the citizens of Israel, the truth about our IDF soldiers and the truth about our country,” Netanyahu says on the Ben Gurion Airport tarmac.
“I will denounce those leaders who, instead of denouncing the murderers, rapists, and child burners, want to give them a state in the heart of the Land of Israel. This will not happen,” the premier asserts.
“In Washington, I will meet for the fourth time with [US] President [Donald] Trump and discuss with him the great opportunities that our victories have brought, and also our need to complete the goals of the war: returning all of our hostages, defeating Hamas and expanding the circle of peace that has opened up following the historic victory in ‘Operation Rising Lion’ (against Iran) and other victories that we have achieved,” Netanyahu continues.
He will meet with Trump in the White House on Monday.
