Netanyahu delays departure for UN General Assembly

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed his departure for the U.N. General Assembly in New York, his office said Wednesday, as the army pounds Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

"Prime Minister Netanyahu will leave for his speech at the U.N. tomorrow (Thursday), instead of tonight, and will return on Saturday night," his office said. "During the day, the prime minister will hold consultations to discuss the continuation of the attacks in Lebanon."
