Netanyahu to tell Palestinians to stop 'incitement' in UN

September 29, 2015 22:49

Israel's prime minister said today he planned to use a speech at the UN to tell Palestinians to stop "incitement to violence" at a Jerusalem holy site shaken by clashes in recent weeks.

Benjamin Netanyahu, who speaks at the General Assembly Thursday, also said he planned to review the situation in neighbouring Syria as well as the nuclear accord between major powers and Iran, which Israel strongly opposes.

"Israel desires peace with the Palestinians, who continue to spread lies about our policy on the Temple Mount," Netanyahu said in a statement, using the Jewish name for the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem. "I'm going to demand an end to the incitation to violence."
