Netanyahu speaking at UN General Assembly
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu takes to the podium at the UN General Assembly in New York as the last speaker in the morning session.
In a video filmed at the UN ahead of his speech, Netanyahu said his speech would not be one the Iranians would soon forget.
“Today I will say things that I believe the ruler of Iran and also the people in Iran will remember forever,” he said in Hebrew. “I think they will also remember what President Trump said here.”
US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and Trump’s peace envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt are in the plenary hall to listen to the speech.
