Zionist Union MK Hilik Bar, who heads the Knesset's two-state lobby, said he agreed with every word of the speech. He then posted on his Twitter account an edited image of the prime minister of Israel pointing to a photograph of penguins under the caption ''Untouched." The original image was taken from Netanyahu's 2012 speech at the UN, when Netanyahu pointed to a Loony Tunes-like bomb cartoon describing the Iranian nuclear threat.נאום מצויין של נתניהו, ייצג את ישראל בכבוד מול אומות העולם.

Zionist Union MK Yoel Hasson, however, was not impressed by the prime minister's speech. Hasson complained that Netanyahu has been "talking for a decade and not presenting any policy, vision, or direction." The Zionist Union MK called Netanyahu a "political coward" and stated that his speech a "missed opportunity."Meretz MK Ilan Gilon said that before he visits Antarctica, Netanyahu should visit an Israeli psychiatric hospital, which he said was "less glamorous but more relevant to his job." The Meretz MK also made fun of the part in his speech in which Netanyahu claimed UNESCO is creating "Fake History" by claiming the city of Hebron is a Palestinian heritage site. "Creating fake hysteria - that is Netanyahu's true specialty," wrote the MK on Twitter.לא נגענו. pic.twitter.com/ul55btOwOX
