Last week, the official acknowledgment of Palestinian statehood took place in Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney articulated this decision by stating, “Canada acknowledges the State of Palestine and extends our collaboration in fostering a peaceful future for both Palestine and Israel.” Shortly after, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu introduced a 20-point plan aimed at resolving the conflict in Gaza. However, the plan lacks a clear path towards establishing a Palestinian state.
Today’s focus revolves around the formation of a Palestinian state, the potential, setbacks, and ambiguous prospects of the two-state solution. Our guest for today is Noura Erakat, a scholar, human rights attorney, writer, and Palestinian-American advocate. For the transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: [link].
