Robert Wright and Robert Malley discuss the recent wave of countries — France, Australia, Britain, and Canada — recognizing Palestine as a state.

Malley argues that while recognition may offer some emotional validation for Palestinians, it doesn’t change the political reality: Israel’s policies in Gaza and the West Bank continue, and core issues of a two-state solution remain unresolved. He suggests that for many governments, recognition is more about atoning for past inaction than creating real leverage.
