Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly today, and spoke about several challenges facing the Middle East.
"Many decades of efforts to make peace with Arab Nations have failed because they were based on one false assumption - that the Palestinians must be appeased as a precondition to peace. The Palestinians have much to gain from new peace agreements. They should be part of these agreements, but they should not have a veto on peace."
He also demanded that the PA stop supporting terrorism: "For peace to prevail, the PA must end its ghoulish pay-to-slay policy, and antisemitism must be rejected wherever it is found, whether in the halls of universities or the halls of the United Nations."
He addressed the efforts for normalization with Saudi Arabia: ''I believe that we are at the cusp of a historic peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Such a peace will go a long way to ending the Arab Israeli conflict." He further went on to describe a planned corridor connecting the Arabian peninsula, Israel, and Europe, to allow for travel, shipping, and energy pipelines between all of the countries involved.
"The US has been indispensable in his effort," Netanyahu stated. "Just as we achieved the Abraham Accords with the leadership of President Trump, I believe we can achieve peace with Saudi Arabia with the leadership of President Biden." READ MORE
