Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is addressing the UN General Assembly.
His speech is expected to cover the Iranian nuclear and terror threat, regional peace prospects — notably including the accelerating effort at Israeli-Saudi normalization — and the fight over democracy at home sparked by his coalition’s judicial overhaul legislation.
This is his 12th address to the forum, and his first since 2018. (He sent his Foreign Minister Israel Katz in his stead in 2019, stayed home at the height of the COVID restrictions in 2020, and was in opposition the past two General Assemblies.)
