The Hostages and Missing Families Forum slams Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his upcoming visit to New York to speak at the UN General Assembly.
“While the country is burning and 101 hostages have been abandoned in the Hamas death tunnels for 355 days, the prime minister chooses another unnecessary show trip to the US,” the forum says in a statement.
Netanyahu is expected to fly to New York tomorrow with his wife Sara, and address the UNGA on Friday with a speech focusing on Iran. The prime minister will stay in New York until Saturday evening, when he will return to Israel at the conclusion of the Jewish Sabbath.
