Prime Minister Netanyahu said that there has been no change in his stance on
a demilitarized Palestinian state that would recognize the Jewish state, and
on security arrangements that would allow Israel to defend itself by itself
against any threat. He added that the conflict with the Palestinians was not
about the settlements but about the Jewish state's right to exist.
PM Netanyahu and FM Liberman meet with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
PM Netanyahu: There is no justice in the fact that the standard applied to
Israel is different than that applied to other countries. Israel did not
direct its attacks against civilians and the UN's conduct toward Israel is
disproportionate.
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman met
with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon Tuesday afternoon (30 September 2014)
at the UN offices in New York. The Prime Minister said that Iran is
continuing to work towards achieving the ability to arm itself with nuclear
weapons.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said that the residents of Gaza had been taken
hostage by Hamas and compared Hamas to ISIS. He added that Hamas had
perpetrated a double war crimeby using the residents of Gaza as human
shields and deliberately firing at the residents of Israel. He said that he
does not intend to apologize for the fact that Israel has Iron Dome to
protect its citizens.

Prime Minister Netanyahu complained that the UN Human Rights Council is not
focusing its inquiry on Hamas, which used UN facilities in order to fire at
Israel, and asserted that Israel would struggle against this. He added that
the Council was biased against Israel and defends Hamas.

Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that there was no justice in the fact that
the standard applied to Israel was different than that applied to other
countries and pointed out that 200,000 civilians have been slaughtered in
Syria. He said that the UN's conduct toward Israel was disproportionate and
stressed that Israel did not direct its attacks against civilians, adding
that we regret any harm done to innocent civilians. The Prime Minister also
commented on the arrangement that was achieved with the UN on the entry of
humanitarian supplies for the residents of Gaza.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said that there has been no change in his stance on
a demilitarized Palestinian state that would recognize the Jewish state, and
on security arrangements that would allow Israel to defend itself by itself
against any threat. He added that the conflict with the Palestinians was not
about the settlements but about the Jewish state's right to exist.

Prime Minister Netanyahu pointed out that Hezbollah was in violation of UN
Security Council Resolution 1701 by continuing to build up its arsenals.
