Description

Yet again, the US blocks a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. It's the sixth time Washington has used its veto power since October 2023. Where does this leave the UN's relevance in the war? And what are the options for international action?

In this episode: 

  • William Lawrence - Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at American University.
  • Ardi Imseis - Associate Professor of Law at Queen’s University and a former UN legal officer.
  • Xavier Abu Eid - Political scientist and former adviser to the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Host: Sami Zeidan
