Netanyahu: 'Palestinians bringing weapons to the Temple Mount and disturbing the status quo'
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife took off on Tuesday for the UN General Assembly in New York. On his way to the plane Netanyahu said: "I feel I have the right and a big responsibility to tell the world the truth.
"The world needs to know how Israeli citizens feel after the nuclear agreement and what we expect from the international community. My speech will also address our policy towards Syria and the threat on our northern border," Netanyahu continued.
"I will meet with US Secretary of State John Kerry and we will discuss strengthening Israel's security," he added. "We will also address the peace process. Israel wants peace with the Palestinians, but regretfully lies continue to be spread about our policy towards the Temple Mount. Israel is maintaining the status quo; it is the Palestinians bringing weapons to the Temple Mount who are harming the site's sanctity and disturbing the status quo."
