Netanyahu Readies for Showdown with Abbas at UN
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu spent Thursday in New York preparing his speech to the UN General Assembly on Friday. "You will hear a forceful enunciation of Israel's narrative, and its desire for peace with the Palestinians and its Arab neighbors," an Israeli official said. Netanyahu also met with South Sudanese President Mayardit, Costa Rican President Miranda and Portuguese Prime Minister Coelho. On Wednesday night, he met with U.S. Secretary of State Clinton for close to two hours; that followed an almost hour-long meeting with President Obama. An Israeli official said countries have begun to realize that approving the UN membership bid of a state that is in the midst of a conflict sets a dangerous precedent for negotiated solutions in any conflict worldwide.
