J Street slams Netanyahu over UN address

The pro-Israel lobby J Street in Washington has slammed Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for his UN General Assembly address Tuesday.

J Street released a statement expressing disappointment that Netanyahu did not spend more time addressing “the promise of a better future with the Palestinians,” especially in light of the ongoing 'peace' process.

“The prime minister’s speech to the UN General Assembly was a missed opportunity,” the organization said.

“Of its 33 minutes, he spent less than two minutes addressing the subject of peace with the Palestinians, as if to make it clear that peace is not a high priority for him."
