“Israel’s greater normalization and economic connection with its neighbors is delivering positive and particle impacts even as we continue to work tirelessly for just and lasting peace, for Israelis and Palestinians, two states for two peoples.”

The Biden Administration appears to be continuing its boycott of Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, who is now in his sixth term.

“The series of measures that Israel decided upon are intended to make it clear that Israel will exact a price for any attempt to harm Israel in the international arena.”

While it was a positive change, the anti-Israel resolution still passed with 87 votes in favor, 54 against, and 23 abstentions.

"Both Palestinians and Israelis must refrain from violence, and aggressive and provocative rhetoric."

If it goes through, the potentially historic agreement – initiated by Israel -- would put an end to the state of conflict between the Gulf states and Israel.

The number of outright lies that came forth from the podium during his address was unusual even for a speech from Abbas.

The prime minister also commented Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s remarks at the United Nations General Assembly.

Likud Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz is scheduled to fly to New York next week to deliver a speech on behalf of Netanyahu instead.

Prime Minister Netanyahu met Wednesday with U.S. President Donald Trump, and separately with Egypt's President Abed Fattah al-Sisi.

"Every solution to the humanitarian crisis in Syria must also include a strategy to address the brutal regime that has fueled and financed it: the corrupt dictatorship in Iran."

Al-Sisi maintains that a “two-state solution” should remain part of any U.S. peace plan proposed to Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

Netanyahu's meeting with Trump is expected to focus on issues with Iran and efforts to establish peace with the Palestinian Authority.

'The State Department's response is alarming because allowing Mahmoud Abbas into the U.S. is in direct violation of the letter and spirit of U.S. law.'

Friday’s envelope preceded Netanyahu’s arrival in New York by several hours.

A senior White House official performed a familiar juggling act saying the administration was optimistic about the peace process in general, but no one expects a breakthrough or even tangible progress this week.

“In his speech, Abu Mazen (the PA leader’s nom de guerre) will detail all the planned steps of the next stage ahead of the UN bid.”

PM Netanyahu and Pres. Trump are slated to meet Monday; they're expected to discuss Iran’s presence on Israel’s northern border, and the looming deadline for Trump’s approval or cancellation of the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran.
