Benjamin Netanyahu Signed Typescript of 2015 UN General Assembly Speech Typed speech made by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly on October 1, 2015, 15 pages, 8.5 x 11, signed and inscribed at the top of the first page in blue ink, “To Samuel Kloda, Best wishes, BN.” The speech, which focuses primarily on criticizing the Iran nuclear deal and highlighting the threats posed by Iran to Israel and the broader Middle East, reads, in part: “After three days of listening to world leaders praise the nuclear deal with Iran, I begin my speech today by saying: Ladies and Gentlemen, check your enthusiasm at the door. You see, this deal doesn’t make peace more likely. By fueling Iran’s aggressions with billions of dollars in sanctions relief, it makes war more likely. Just look at what Iran has done in the last six months alone, since the framework agreement was announced in Lausanne. Iran boosted its supply of devastating weapons to Syria. Iran sent more soldiers of its Revolutionary Guard into Syria. Iran sent thousands of Afghani and Pakistani Shi’ite fighters to Syria. Iran did all this to prop up Assad’s brutal regime. Iran also shipped tons of weapons and ammunitions to the Houthi rebels in Yemen, including another shipment just two days ago...Iran also made clear its plans to open two new terror fronts against Israel, promising to arm Palestinians in the West Bank and sending its Revolutionary Guard generals to the Golan Heights, from which its operatives recently fired rockets on northern Israel. Israel will continue to respond forcefully to any attacks against it from Syria. Israel will continue to act to prevent the transfer of strategic weapons to Hezbollah from and through Syrian territory.” In fine condition.
