Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin met on Friday with heads of parliaments in France and asked them to work so that leaders of nations will boycott the speech of Iranian President Ahmadinejad to the UN General Assembly in New York next week.

Rivlin told his colleagues, "Every day the world is exposed to the lies of Iran. It is necessary to isolate it because time is running out."
