Although some friends will receive him at the United Nations General Assembly, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knows he will be in hot water tomorrow. When he left with wife for New York this morning for his speech on Monday, he gave a bitter farewell:

“In my address to the UN General Assembly,” he said on the tarmac, “I will refute all of the lies being directed at us and I will tell the truth about our state and about the heroic soldiers of the IDF, the most moral army in the world.”
