France to be chief target of Netanyahu’s ire in UN speech blasting recognition of Palestinian state, source says

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech tomorrow will blast countries for recognizing a Palestinian state, arguing that it benefits Hamas, a source familiar with the details tells The Times of Israel.

Netanyahu’s ire will be focused primarily on France, according to the source.

He will also pivot to the opportunities in a new Middle East after the defeat of Hamas, especially with the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

Netanyahu, not surprisingly, will express Israel’s gratitude to US President Donald Trump.
