Alongside these major global issues, Usman Shahid shares his personal journey — where he came from, the hardships he experienced, the challenges that shaped his life, and what he is doing today. 🇺🇳 Netanyahu at the United Nations The recent UN General Assembly 2026 brought some of the world's biggest geopolitical issues to the international stage. One of the most closely watched moments was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations on September 24, 2026. Netanyahu defended Israel's position and spoke about the threats facing Israel, including Iran's nuclear programme. His speech also attracted a major reaction inside the General Assembly, with dozens of delegates walking out as he began speaking. Reuters In this conversation, we discuss what happened at the UN, why Netanyahu's speech attracted so much attention, and what the reaction inside the General Assembly tells us about the current international environment. We also discuss the broader Israel-Palestine conflict, Gaza, international diplomacy and the role of the United Nations in dealing with major global conflicts. 🇨🇳 China’s Rise & Global Leadership Another major focus of this podcast is China's rise and its increasingly important role in world affairs. China's growing economic, diplomatic and strategic influence has become one of the most important developments in modern geopolitics. During the latest UN General Assembly session, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met with the President of the General Assembly to discuss the international situation and priorities of the 81st session. United Nations China also presented its position during the General Debate, emphasizing the post-war international order, multilateralism and global cooperation. United Nations So, what does China's rise mean for the world? Is the global balance of power changing? Are we moving towards a more multipolar world? And what could China's growing influence mean for countries such as Pakistan? These questions are explored throughout the conversation. Follow Usman Waraaich Channel: The United Nations provides an important platform for observing these changes because countries with very different interests and foreign policies come together to present their positions.
