As he often does, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds up a visual aid, this time the map he showed last year envisioning a logistical bridge from India through the Middle East and Israel, a map of “The Blessing.”
He then holds up a map of “the curse,” showing Iran’s dark crescent of allies across the Middle East.

Netanyahu warns that Iran will endanger every country in the Middle East and many beyond if it is not checked.
“For too long the world has appeased Iran,” he says, talking about its internal and external repression. “That appeasement must end and that appeasement must end now.”
He calls for the world to support Iran’s people, and to “join Israel” in stopping Iran’s nuclear weapons program. He calls for the UN Security Council to impose “snapback” sanctions on Iran for its nuclear program.
