On the heels of Canada’s recognition of Palestinian statehood, we trace the promise, failure, and uncertain future of the two-state solution.
Front BurnerWill recognition lead to a Palestinian state?
Last week, Canada officially recognized Palestinian statehood.
In explaining this decision, Prime Minister Mark Carney released a statement which read, “Canada recognises the State of Palestine and offers our partnership in building the promise of a peaceful future for both the State of Palestine and the State of Israel.”
Just over a week later, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled an alternative way forward: a 20-point plan they say would end the war in Gaza, but falls well short of creating a pathway for the creation of a Palestinian state.
Today, we’re talking about the creation of a Palestinian state, as well as the promise, failure, and uncertain future of the two-state solution.
Our guest is Noura Erakat, an academic, human rights lawyer, author, and Palestinian-American activist.
