Yesterday The Daily Caller<\/a> reported that U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power was instructed to skip Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a>‘s remarks at the United Nations<\/a> on Thursday. Secretary of State John Kerry<\/a> was also not present at the United Nations for Netanyahu’s speech. The U.S. delegates who did attend did not applaud the speech.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal<\/a> described Israeli Prime Minister<\/a> Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech as follows:<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday delivered a fiery address here condemning the Iranian nuclear deal, largely unbowed in his opposition despite losing steep political ground to President Barack Obama<\/a> over the issue this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his speech to the General Assembly, Mr. Netanyahu thundered that Iranian threats to destroy Israel<\/a> have been met in the world body by \u201cutter silence, deafening silence.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Evidently the Obama Administration did not want to hear the truth.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal further reports:<\/p>\n

Still, Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s supporters don\u2019t see the debate over the nuclear agreement as over. U.S. lawmakers are drafting new legislation to target Iran<\/a>\u2019s support for international militant groups and to limit the ability of foreign companies to invest in Iran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Much of the congressional debate over Iran is focused on trying to dry up funding for Iran\u2019s elite military unit, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a>, which dominates the Iranian economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israeli officials and many Iran watchers in Washington<\/a> say they believe there is a high likelihood that Iran will cheat on the nuclear agreement, and that the West must be prepared to move quickly with punishments if it does.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe next phase is not just enforcing the nuclear accord, strictly, but putting in place new mechanisms to guard against the cancer of Iran spreading across the region,\u201d said Josh Block, president of The Israeli Project, which campaigned against the nuclear deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Releasing billions of dollars to a country that has supported terrorism since the 1970’s is not a path to peace. Hopefully those who support this agreement will realize that before it is too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
