Prime Minister Yair Lapid is expected to announce his support for the establishment of a Palestinian State during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly tomorrow, sources close to the Prime Minister stated.
According to the sources, Lapid's speech will focus on four issues.
The first issue is Iran and the nuclear threat the Islamic Republic poses. Prime Minister Lapid will emphasize that the State of Israel will, if necessary, act by itself to defend itself from Iran and does not need anyone's permission to defend itself.
Lapid will also tell the global body that there is an alternative to the current bad deal being negotiated in Vienna and armed conflict, a better deal that does not include sunset clauses, has proper inspection mechanisms to ensure Iran's compliance, and addresses Iran's ballistic missile program and support for terrorism throughout the Middle East and the world. He will reiterate that such a deal is possible if backed by a credible military threat.
The second issue is the demonization and delegitimization of Israel, especially at the United Nations. Lapid will state that Israel is a full-fledged member of the UN and should be treated as such. He will also state that Israel will defend itself against those who defame it.
