Editor's Note: This interview was recorded on Thursday, Sept 19. On Wednesday, Sept 25, The Jerusalem Post reported Netanyahu has cancelled his trip to New York.

Nearly a year into Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, US support for the pariah state has not ceased. Now, as Israel drastically escalates indiscriminate bombing and massacres in neighboring Lebanon, the US is preparing to receive Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York City, where he will address the United Nations on September 26. The Shut It Down for Palestine coalition has called for a mass march at 3:00 PM on that day, beginning at Bryant Park in Manhattan and then heading to the UN. Layan Fuleihan, Education Director at The People's Forum, returns to The Real News to discuss Netanyahu's visit, how the movement for Palestine will rise to confront him, and why solidarity with Palestine remains the most pressing political question of our time.
