Analysis: "Beyond Recognition: Is a Palestinian State even Possible Anymore?" Recognising a Palestinian state is one thing. But the actual "formation of a future Palestinian state consisting of the West Bank, Gaza Strip & East Jerusalem is far more difficult to achieve." What & who is recognition for, if Israel cannot be compelled to agree to a two-state solution?

Analysis: "Israel's plan for 'full control' of Gaza heralds a new Nakba - so the West is panicking" "Netanyahu's strategy pulls the rug out from under its cherished pretext for supporting Israeli criminality: the fabled two-state solution".
