PM takes off for New York, will speak in English before UN General Assembly

(Ynet).Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took off for New York, where he will speak in English before the 64th session of the UN General Assembly. Netanyahu will be joined by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Defense Minister Ehud Barak.

The prime minister announced that he will speak in English because his message "is already known to the citizens of Israel and the Jewish community, but not to the citizens of the world." Netanyahu's speech at the General Assembly will focus on Iran and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
