Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid called out Iran during a speech before the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, accusing the Islamic nation of being behind an antisemitic campaign against Israel.

Lapid spoke of "two major threats" facing Israel, tying Iran to both.

"The first is the nuclear threat.

The second threat is the demise of truth," Lapid said.

Antisemitism is judging Israel by a different standard than any other country," he said.

"Conducting this orchestra of hate is Iran," Lapid declared.

Turning to the other threat Israel faces — the nuclear one — Lapid said that Iran's position on Israel is the only case of a UN member state openly calling for the destruction of another member state.

"If the Iranian regime gets a nuclear weapon, they will use it," Lapid warned

"It needs to be made clear to Iran, that if it advances its nuclear program, the world will not respond with words, but with military force

Every time a threat like that was put on the table in the past, Iran stopped, and retreated."

"The Jews today have a state," he said in an unspoken contrast to the time of the Holocaust

We will do whatever it takes: Iran will not get a nuclear weapon
