\r\n\tIsraeli Finance Minister Yair Lapid has criticized the decision of Israel's delegation to the UN Minister Yuval Steinitz and Israel's Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor – to boycott Iranian President Hassan Rowhani's address at the General Assembly on Tuesday, calling it a mistake.
\r\n\t
\r\n\t"Israel shouldn't be portrayed as a serial objector to negotiations uninterested in peaceful solutions," he said, adding Israel must make the Iranians be 'peace objectors'.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tLapid said the decision to leave the UN Assembly was reminiscent of the ways Arab states behaved towards Israel.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2013-09-25 11:26:49","content_date_finish":"2013-09-25 11:26:49","content_date_register":"2013-09-25 11:26:49","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"120788","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"3832155928","attach_date_register":"2013-09-25 11:27:04","attach_id":"113936","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"122","attach_img_height":"77","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"335","visit_date_last":"2025-05-09 09:13:19","attach_title":"Lapid: Israel's boycott of Rowhani speech mistaken","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
