Last Week on Earth, hosted by broadcaster Louisa Magnussen with regular guest journalist Gavin O’Toole, examines why this has been a pivotal week for the Palestinian people.
The episode unpacks what it means when nations recognise Palestinian statehood, the history of such recognition and the shifting stance of European countries and the United States.
Louisa and Gavin weigh claims that recognition is mere symbolism against its potential impact—from Gaza to the wider two-state solution—and consider why the UK, despite its historic role, has waited so long. They also explore the implications for UK politics and US relations, and the possible diplomatic fallout for Israel, including pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu and growing rifts between the US and its allies.
