President Shimon Peres: PM Netanyahu at UN Assembly, will give Ahmadinejad what he deserves

(JPOST).President Shimon Peres on Tuesday harshly criticized Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his regime on Tuesday, and said he is certain Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will give the Iranian leader what he deserves.

"In several hours, our prime minister will meet with the US president [Barack Obama] and with Palestinian Authority President [Mamhmoud] Abbas, and will purposely be absent from a UN meeting attended by one of the most terrible men of our time - Ahmadinejad," the president said during a visit at the Kaduri Agricultural School on the North.

Peres called the Iranian leader "a man who denies the Holocaust, a man of dark words and a bearer of bad news, a man without a future."

The president went on to tell the students that "the world isn't looking for negativity, it seeks hope. I'm sure Netanyahu will give [Ahmadinejad] what he deserves."
