Global activists, led by representatives of over 150 Palestinian civil society organizations, have called on the United Nations General Assembly to use their unique powers to sanction Israel and to circumvent the U.S. veto in the Security Council, as well as to mandate concrete measures for accountability. In their Left & the Law segment, Jan Haaken and Mike Snedeker talk about the International Court of Justice and other bodies within the UN and the question of whether the legal and political landscape has shifted for Israel to continue with its genocide in Gaza. They provide an update on the Trump so-called peace plan and what activists are describing as the Justice Plan for Palestine through the United Nations.
