Margaret Besheer: Voice of America UN correspondent ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu's appearance at the UN General Assembly

A frosty reception is expected for Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as he fronts global diplomats - as war wages in the Middle East. Leaders from nearly 200 UN Member states are meeting to discuss international issues in New York City. Calls for intervention are growing - as Israel pounds southern Lebanon with bombs, and its' deadly occupation of Gaza continues. Voice of America UN correspondent, Margaret Besheer, says many members are calling Israel's actions genocide. "The speeches were very strong against Israel - and not just from the neighbours, but from other countries in the global south." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
