Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said that “Many countries all over the world seek closeness and cooperation with us. I call to their leaders: the time has come for the positive relations between us to be reflected at the UN as well.”

Netanyahu said that “The trend of directing hostility towards Israel within UN institutions continues to this day. There are sources within the UN who seek to condemn us at every opportunity. This distorted reality will not force us to concede defeat.”
