The “tyrants of Tehran” have been nothing but a curse since Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last addressed the United Nations General Assembly in 2018, he told the body on Sept. 22 in New York City. But they have unintentionally been a blessing too.
“The common threat of Iran has brought Israel and many Arab states closer than ever before, in a friendship that I have not seen in my lifetime,” said Netanyahu.
Netanyahu described the biblical story of Moses separating the Israelites between two mountains, with Mount Gerizim associated with blessings and Mount Ebal with curses. He held up a map of the Middle East and a red pen, and noted that he had demonstrated the Iranian threat to the region using the same props in 2018.
