Israel on ‘cusp’ of Saudi Arabia ties, Netanyahu tells UN
United Nations, United States – AFP
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations on Friday that his country is on the “cusp” of establishing relations with Saudi Arabia and said the Palestinians would not get a “veto.”
Netanyahu said agreements in 2020 to normalize relations with three other Arab states had already signaled “the dawn of a new age of peace” and now “I believe that we are at the cusp of an even more dramatic breakthrough in historic peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia.”
Iran must face ‘credible nuclear threat’
He also called for arch-enemy Iran to face a “credible” threat of nuclear attack to stop it from obtaining an atom bomb.
“Above all — above all — Iran must face a credible nuclear threat. As long as I’m prime minister of Israel, I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu, whose country has a widely known but undeclared nuclear program, told the UN General Assembly.
