Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Wednesday with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres during the UN General Assembly in New York.

During the meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu stressed Iran's role in destabilizing the Middle East and the entire world.

Netanyahu expressed hope that the international efforts led by the United States for normalization with Saudi Arabia will bear fruit soon, and expressed his confidence that the economic corridor project between India, the Gulf states and Israel and Europe will contribute to strengthen the global economy.

In addition, Prime Minister Netanyahu demanded that the UN Secretary-General change the attitude of the organization's institutions towards the State of Israel.

In addition, the Prime Minister demanded that the UN Secretary-General change the attitude of UN institutions toward Israel and said it was untenable that while major changes for the better were taking place in the world and the Middle East, the UN was unaffected and remained steadfast in its hostility to Israel.

Prime Minister Netanyahu added that “the time has come for the UN to condemn Iranian subversion and Palestinian terrorism against innocent civilians, and to refrain from its baseless criticism of Israel.”
