Obama takes center stage at UN General Assembly meeting

UN Wire | 09/21/2009

In a busy week for global diplomacy, U.S. President Barack Obama will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in New York during a meeting of the UN General Assembly. Israeli settlements will be a key subject of the discussions as the Palestinians are dissatisfied with Israeli offers to halt expansion temporarily. In addition to private meetings with each leader, Obama will meet individually with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and also will chair a meeting of the UN Security Council.
