Netanyahu’s 2011 U.N. speech was amazing, hopefully today’s will top it.

Via The Hill:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to deliver a fiery address to the United Nations Thursday calling on the international community to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

The speech, aimed as much at the Obama administration as the Israeli public, is expected to lay down for the first time in detail the “red lines” that Israel will not allow Iran to cross, the Israeli newspaper Maariv reported Tuesday.

Netanyahu is expected to speak between noon and 1 p.m.

The Israeli leader has been engaged in an election-year pressure campaign to convince the Obama administration to set out its own red lines for Iran, which if crossed would provoke a joint strike by the U.S. and Israel.

The escalating rhetoric has turned Netanyahu, a longtime friend and brief colleague of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney three decades ago, into a significant player in the U.S. election where Jewish voters in states such as Florida are crucial to both campaigns.
