The Palestinians’ unswerving action at the United Nations may not grant them the statehood they crave, but in effect their strategy has not been for nought. The intransigence that divides them from the Israelis is now wholly and squarely on the world’s biggest stage. Has the Palestinian Spring finally arrived? It’s an issue so polarising it’s become practically untouchable in some circles.
If you’re looking for complex, nuanced analysis, don’t miss this panel discussion at the Wheeler Centre.
