WASHINGTON – A PR duel will be in two and a half weeks during the United Nations General Assembly discussions in New York between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The Iranian leader is expected to address the GA on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, while Netanyahu will speak the next day after arriving in the United States.
According to diplomatic sources in New York, the Iranian issue will be at the top of the agenda of the GA's speakers, although there will be no votes during the 10-day assembly.
All Western leaders – including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Francois Holland – are expected to speak. Their presence in New York will pave the way for discussions on the Iranian issue.
US President Barack Obama's address will open the GA on September 25, and the Iranian president's address is expected the next day.
Obama will not wait in New York to meet with Netanyahu, especially in light of his pressing election campaign. The window of opportunities for a meeting between the American and Israeli leaders will thus open on September 28 in Washington.
In his address, Obama will be expected to demonstrate his leadership skills on the Iranian and Syrian issues, which will be at the focus of Western leaders' discussions.
Damn. I was hoping that we would have kicked the UN out of America by that time.
ahmadinajad and friend’s small equipments makes him bitter. If his religion was so great and his country so wonderful he wouldn’t have to project onto the jews and or Israel which is many time smaller geographically than Iran and especially compared to the whole ME.
him=them
There’s a good chance it will all be over before that.
In his address, Obama will be expected to demonstrate his leadership skills...
Another disappointment.
Kind of an insult to have him speak on a Jewish High Holy day.
Kind of???
I’m picturing a G-d sent bolt of lightening...
Total travesty. Come on Bibi - unleash the EMP
So Obama is meeting with Ahmadenijad (radical Muslim tyrant) but not Netanyahu (Jewish leader). Of course. The it's-all-about-me-and-my-wonderfulness campaign is much more pressing and important. Perhaps the DNC platform's removal of Jerusalem was to demonstrate a "good faith effort" to their Muslim overlords. So what if they didn't actually remove it. Obama will leave the actual "removal of Israel from the map" to his buddy Ahmadenijad.
In his address, Obama will be expected to demonstrate his leadership skills on the Iranian and Syrian issues, which will be at the focus of Western leaders' discussions.
One of the few things Obama demonstrates leadership in is bowing before our enemies. Then there his phenomenal ability to prevaricate and we can't forget that he has an astounding capacity for hatred of America.
Campaigning is way more fun than actually being president.
UN = UNPUNISHED NAZIS
How offensive. Anti-Semitism on steroids
I wish to blazes after the Israelis nuke Iran they’d drop one on the UN building (preferably while all the criminals who hang out there are present).
Back in August it was reported that Obama would have lunch with Nutjob and Morsi.
