Prime Minister Netanyahu said at the UN General Assembly that "70 years ago the UN advanced Herzl's vision of 120 years ago by supporting the establishment of a Jewish State, and 50 years ago we reunited Jerusalem and fended off our enemies."

Netanyahu mentioned that Rosh Hashanah which falls tomorrow night is a time of reflection and the world should reflect on Israel's contribution to many countries around the world. Isaiah said "I have made you a light to the nations, bringing salvation to the ends of the earth." and these prophetic words are coming true in our time.
