She pointed to the political terrorism such as the 1992 attack on Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires and said that her country had investigated the causes of the incident by seeking to bring the perpetrators to justice. The accused Iranian citizens were enabled to make statements in Argentina's courts through a negotiated memorandum with Iran, she added. Cristina Fernandez said that after the negotiations with Iran the Jewish institutions that always supported her country turned against it.

According to the UN News Center, President Fernández called on the Assembly to recognize Palestine as a State, a full Member of the Assembly. "Israel must also be secure within its borders", she added. She criticized the Security Council reform and said that the problems will not be resolved as long as the votes of the five Permanent Members are counted more than those of others and suggested to have the General Assembly, where each Member had one vote, as the sovereign body of the Organization. She also asked: "Who was arming the “bad guys? and where did ISIS come from?" Cristina Kirchner also claimed that she received a threat from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant jihadist group, because of her friendship with Pope Francis and her support for the existence of Palestinian and Israeli states. She also said that the Argentine judiciary was investigating it. However, the Clarín newspaper could not find details about the case, or which court, prosecutor or judge was working with it.

Some days later, Cristina Kirchner gave a speech in Buenos Aires, and denounced a conspiracy of local bankers and businessmen with foreign aid to overthrow her. She also dismissed the threat from ISIS and claimed instead that the US would be attempting to kill her, saying that “If something should happen to me, don’t look to the Middle East, look to the North”. Elisa Carrió said that Kirchner was “completely out of touch with reality” and that she was making up conspiracy theories.
In her speech she criticized the Argentine Jewish leaders as they had not respected the pact with Iran in order to jointly investigate the 1994 AMIA bombing attack. Julio Schlosser, president of the DAIA, considered that Kirchner was trying to "turn the victims into victimizers", and criticized that she did not make any complaints to Iran.
