In this episode, we explore the complexities of recognizing a Palestinian state post-October 7th. Is now the right time for international recognition, and what message does it convey? Will it pave the way for peace, or exacerbate tensions?

We plunge into the uncertainties ahead, shedding light on pivotal questions. What are the formal requirements for statehood, and do Palestinians meet them? Do historical or religious justifications exist for a Palestinian state at all?

Discover the challenges and opportunities on the road to Palestinian statehood. From the Hamas charter to the realities of governance, we navigate the intricate landscape, understanding why recognition warrants careful consideration.
