Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks 61 states that voted against a resolution in a UN nuclear watchdog conference calling to place Israel’s nuclear program under international oversight.
“I personally spoke with over 30 presidents, prime ministers and foreign ministers,” Netanyahu says in a statement shortly after the IAEA’s General Conference votes down the Arab-proposed resolution by a 61-43 vote.
“In my conversations, I explained that it is inappropriate to hold a discussion of this sort while the main problem in the Middle East remains Iran’s efforts to obtain nuclear arms and its clear declarations of its intent to destroy Israel,” he adds.
“I want to thank all the states that supported Israel, led by the United States, Australia and Canada. I want to thank the European Union, which voted as a bloc with Israel.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
