Netanyahu denounces B’Tselem chief’s UN speech as ‘full of lies’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slams B’Tselem director Hagai El-Ad’s speech at the UN Security Council.

“As our soldiers prepare to defend Israel’s security, B’Tselem director chooses to deliver a speech full of lies at the UN in an attempt to help Israel’s enemies,” Netanyahu says in a statement after El-Ad called for international action against Israel.

“B’Tselem’s conduct is a disgrace that will be remembered as a short and temporary episode in our nation’s history,” he adds.
