What world leaders said at the UN

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said time is running out.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: "There is only one way to peacefully prevent Iran from getting atomic bombs -- and that's by placing a clear red line on Iran's nuclear weapons program. Red lines don't lead to war, red lines prevent war."

The Israeli leader used a cartoon-like image of a bomb to show that a red line must be drawn on Iran's ability to enrich uranium.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: "And by next spring, at most by next summer, at current enrichment rates, they will have finished the medium enrichment and moved on to the final stage."

President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke by telephone on Friday.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of letting settlers carry out "a campaign of ethnic cleansing" against his people. He and other leaders in this story are heard through an interpreter.

MAHMOUD ABBAS (INTERPRETER): "Israel refuses to end the occupation and refuses to allow the Palestinian people to attain their rights and freedom, and rejects the establishment of the state of Palestine."

Egypt's new president, Mohamed Morsi, made his first speech to the General Assembly. He said the most important issue facing the world is the need to settle the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
