Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to continue attacks on Syria during his address to the UN General Assembly.
Netanyahu said that Israel will continue to act to prevent the transfer of strategic weapons to Hezbollah from and through Syrian territory.
Netanyahu attacked the nuclear deal between the global superpowers and Iran, saying that Iran would be able to produce a nuclear bomb under this deal, because if Iran doesn’t change its behaviour, the most important constraints will still be automatically lifted by year ten and by year 15. That would place a militant Islamic terror regime weeks away from having the fissile material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs. “Now just imagine what Iran will do after those sanctions are lifted,” he added.
He also said that Israel will not allow Iran to break in, to sneak in or to walk in to the nuclear weapons club. “Israel will do whatever it must do to defend our state and to defend our people,” he stated, and it will not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
“Israel will not permit any force on earth to threaten its future,” Netanyahu added in his speech.
He claimed that he is prepared to immediately resume direct peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority without any preconditions whatsoever, but that Israel expects the Palestinian Authority to abide by its commitments.
