After almost 2 years of Israel's genocide in Gaza, Western powers have issued synchronised declarations recognising Palestinian statehood - a diplomatic move seemingly born out of the immense public pressure they face. What's missing from the story is the concrete measures those governments could take to stop the slaughter in Gaza, as well as their complicity by continuing to supply weapons to Israel.

In Part 2 in a series on Palestinian statehood, Noam Weissman picks up in 1967, showing how the Six Day War reset borders and assumptions—sparking debates over land, security, and sovereignty. From Oslo to the Second Intifada, Gaza disengagement to October 7, 2023, the episode traces failed peace efforts, missed opportunities, and deepening mistrust. With a growing number of countries now pushing recognition of Palestine at the UN General Assembly, the conversation turns to what truly defines a state—and what recognition would (or wouldn't) change. Featuring Einat Wilf, Samer Sinijlawi, Ahmed Fouad Al-Khatib, and Michael Koplow, it explores past offers, critical mistakes, and the conditions needed for a real two-state solution. ⁠Here⁠ is link to the sources used in this episode.

By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan This week, 10 more nations recognized Palestinian statehood. Over 150 countries now recognize Palestine as a state, including 14 of 15 members of the United Nations Security Council. The only outlier: the United States, which consistently wields its Security Council veto power in defense of Israel.

Prime Minister Mark Carney joined several key allies this week at the United Nations General Assembly in adding their names to the list of countries recognizing Palestinian statehood. The move is an attempt to increase pressure toward a two state solution amid the war between Israel and Hamas.Will recognition help lead to a two state solution, will it embolden Hamas, and can Canada do more to hasten a ceasefire? Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with Colin Robertson, a former Canadian diplomat who served at the U.N., to get the answers.

What should we make of Canada's formal recognition of Palestinian statehood at the UN? What happened to the conditions the government had originally tied to this recognition? Andrew believes the Carney administration is both trying to send a signal to the ascending Israeli right and join a broader coalition with the other countries - Britain, the UK, and Australia - who lead the way on this initiative. But given the fact that Mahmoud Abbas has presided over a corrupt PA for over 20 years, without elections, is this recognition of statehood simply kabuki theatre? And how is Canada's statement on this issue affecting how activists protest here in Canada? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to the ongoing saga that is the Trump presidency and his public threat this week to go after political enemies. But America's descent into authoritarianism cannot be blamed solely on the US President; there are a number of incredibly powerful companies, individuals, and advisors whose support of Trump has been rewarded with a concentration of wealth and political power that is handicapping the country's ability to function as a healthy democracy.

Recognition of a Palestinian state at the UN is gaining momentum, with Australia, the UK and France joining over 145 countries in support. Yet, major players like the US and Japan remain hesitant. What impact does this have on a long-lasting solution to the war in Gaza? BFM 89.9 discusses this with Dr. James M. Dorsey, Adjunct Senior Fellow at S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.

Canada and a group of European allies are set to recognize an independent Palestinian state next week at the United Nations' General Assembly. As Israel pushes on with its military takeover of Gaza, Canadian officials say its the only way to salvage a two state solution. Also: This week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing hefty fees on H-1B work visas. The move is putting pressure on Silicon Valley - as Big Tech firms often rely on those workers. And: The Emmy winning television series 'The Pitt' has been praised for its realistic portrayal of an emergency room and its health care workers. But its also gaining attention for it portrayal of one under sung and underrepresented group of medical workers -- Filipino nurses. Plus: Sudan's agriculture crisis, The debate over banning bullfighting in Spain, Canada's first Animal Law program, and more.

France is poised to take a major diplomatic step at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, formally recognizing the State of Palestine. The move is expected to deepen tensions with Israel.

With France, the UK, Australia and Canada expected to recognise an independent Palestinian state at UN General Assembly in New York, what are the origins of the state they plan to recognise? In this episode, Palestinian-American historian Maha Nassar from the University of Arizona describes the events leading up to the original declaration of Palestinian independence in 1988, including the compromises made within the Palestinian liberation movement. Nassar then traces how  we've got to the point where more than 150 countries will recognise an independent Palestinian state – a move that she believes is more of a symbolic gesture than a meaningful route to Palestinian sovereignty.This episode was written and produced by Mend Mariwany and Gemma Ware with assistance from Katie Flood.
