2012-01-25 19

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced plans to attend the United Nations General Assembly meeting next week and to speak the truth to those who want to hear it. Netanyahu called on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to return to the negotiating table. Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem on Thursday, the prime minister's announcement ended weeks of deliberation on the matter. Netanyahu said while the assembly is not the place where Israel generally gets a reasonable hearing, it is important to present Israel's position.
