KAYE: We are closely watching the United Nations General Assembly right now. Leaders from two hotspots speaking today -- Syria's deputy prime minister is going to speak any minute now; and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also set to speak soon. So let's bring in CNN's Richard Roth. He's joining us live from the United Nations. Richard, from Syria's deputy prime minister, what can we expect to hear?</s>RICHARD ROTH, CNN U.N. CORRESPONDENT: Well, you can expect again probably denunciations about Western involvement. It's going to be interesting to see whether the deputy prime minister refers and how he refers to the air strikes -- over 50 U.S. Coalition air strikes inside Syria against ISIS targets. In the past, the speeches from the General Assembly rostrum by this same person have been strident against Western involvement and backing rebel groups which Syria likes to refer to as terrorists.</s>KAYE: And on Friday, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas he spoke and he accused Israel of genocide against the Palestinians. Are we expecting Netanyahu to respond to that accusation, do you think, directly today?</s>ROTH: Oh, I'm sure he will. His foreign minister just issued some sharp criticism of Abbas saying that everything to him is an insult but we believe that the Israeli leader will target Iran and its leadership much more. That's always been the bigger concern, despite the fighting in Gaza that lasted for weeks and the heavy casualty totals there. Israel still remains very firm in its criticism and its alarm about Iran and its nuclear program as talks and deals swirl on the sidelines regarding the nuclear program. Israel is already saying it's going to be a bad deal if there is a deal.</s>KAYE: Yes, certainly things getting interesting there at the U.N. Richard Roth, thank you very much. And I will be right back.
