From Gridlock to Action: How “Uniting for Peace” can save Gaza with Dr Jill Stein

In this episode of The Reel Talk Podcast, Dr. Jill Stein explains what is Uniting for Peace, a lesser-known UN General Assembly mechanism designed to act when the Security Council is blocked by vetoes. Stein explains how it has been used before, what a two-thirds supermajority would enable today, and why her Lifeline for Palestine coalition is urging member states to bring a resolution forward now.
