New York City's mayor is accusing Israel of genocide. How does Israel respond? In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Israel's Special Envoy, for a conversation about Israel's security and the accusations that continue to divide international opinion.

Podcasts and social media have brought these arguments to audiences far beyond traditional news. Pastor Allen says even Hamas knows that Israel is not conducting genocide. Otherwise why would they hide in schools and underneath hospitals? They know Israel would not purposefully attack innocent civilians. Israel is not committing genocide!
