Talk to Jazeera - Muammar Gaddafi (September 25, 2009)

Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York in 2009. His 96-minute speech, which broke the alloted 15-minute protocol, marked the first time he addressed the international body since leading a coup in 1969 which ended rule by monarchy in Libya and brought him to power. In an interview with Al Jazeera's Ghida Fakhry, Gaddafi repeated his belief that a two-state solution is not a feasible approach to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and bringing peace in the Middle East
