Benjamin Netanyahu
Israel is a world
leader in science and technology, in cyber, software, water, agriculture,
medicine, biotechnology and so many other fields that are being revolutionized
by Israeli ingenuity and Israeli innovation.
Israel is the
innovation nation. Israeli know-how
is everywhere.
Benjamin Netanyahu / United Nations Address (10/1/2015)
October 1st, 2015 • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu renewed
his warning that the Iranian nuclear deal threatens to destabilize the Middle
East and will make a war more likely. He cautioned that already Iran is ramping
up efforts to fund terror cells worldwide, while also arming Islamists in Syria,
Yemen, Lebanon, and the Palestinian territories.
Netanyahu told that Iran was building up its own armament stockpiles and that
billions of dollars in sanctions relief would only fuel the effort. He reminded
the nations of the world that Iran already has the capability to target Israel
with ballistic weapons and that it’s current ballistic efforts can only be
meant to threaten Europe and the United States.
The Prime Minister chastised the member states of the U.N. for their failure to
speak out against Iranian threats to destroy Israel, and that the silence was
deafening. Netanyahu emphasized the point by staring at the delegates in
silence for 45 seconds.
Netanyahu responded to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s
declaration the previous day that it would no longer honor the Oslo Peace
Accords by offering to reopen peace talks with the PA without any conditions.
He also rejected the assertion by Abbas that Israel intended to change the
status of the al-Asqa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, a Palestinian
allegation that has recently fomented violent incidents. He noted that Israel
goes to great lengths to ensure the safety of the shrines of all religions in
the Holy Land.
Prime Minister Netanyahu pleaded with U.N. member states to cease decades of
anti Israeli rhetoric, and to undertake an honest effort to work toward an
Israeli – Palestinian peace agreement.
