Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed he will attend the UN General Assembly in New York City in September. BREAKING: Netanyahu confirms he's going to New York City. “First of all I’m going to New York… I'm going to speak the truth in front of this hate-spewing elected official." And here in New York City, there will always be a place where you can exercise that. This is a city where, if anyone feels a level of frustration or opposition, protest is something that we will always respect.
