SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- After declining to call Israel's actions in Gaza "genocide" during a congressional debate forum, State Senator Scott Wiener has changed course. Wiener posted a video to social media Sunday, saying he does believe the conflict in Gaza is genocide. The statement comes days after a forum featuring Wiener and other candidates who are hoping to fill Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi's seat in Congress.
The United Nations General Assembly meets amid Gaza genocide, Ukraine war and global volatility. The United Nations General Assembly is due to hold debates next week. Crises, including the Gaza genocide, Ukraine war and climate change, are placing the world body under severe scrutiny. It is also facing pressure from the administration of US President Donald Trump. What role can the gathering of world nations play?
