Allies' anger over Gaza tests US support for Israel

Trump may be willing to accept global isolation to keep supporting Israel, but at some point, he may conclude that he isn't getting enough from Netanyahu in return

Christopher Phillips 04 October 2025

Palestine recognition is great. Now it's time for action.

The two-state solution is on life support. Israel's genocide in Gaza and its relentless building of settlements in the West Bank are actively destroying the viability of a Palestinian state.

Palestine recognition boosts the PA, not Hamas

Recognition alone won't resolve the conflict, but it at least attempts to salvage the two-state solution before it's too late

The world inches towards Palestine recognition. Too little, too late?

Palestinians do not have the luxury of time. The prospect of their state is vanishing before their very eyes. What will next week's UN General Assembly bring?

Performative politics: Palestine recognition pledges ring hollow

The moves by France, the UK and other Western states appear to be more about appeasing domestic critics with symbolic gestures rather than a genuine attempt to change Israel's behaviour

Crunch time: this UN General Assembly will be a big one for Palestine

Will recognition from France, the UK, Canada and Australia matter? Or will Israel simply go on defying the vast majority of UN member states? September will tell us.

2025 could be a defining year for the West Bank

An emboldened settler movement drunk on the prospect of Trump recognising Israel's control there and an increasingly weakened Palestinian Authority make for a dangerous combination

Trump comments on Gaza fuel global drive for a just solution for Palestine

While Trump's comments on the US 'owning' Gaza sparked a firestorm of criticism, it also refocused attention on the urgent need to rebuild the Strip and recognise a Palestinian state once and for all

With Gaza on backburner, Israel turns its military might on Jenin

Israel blew up 20 homes in the West Bank refugee camp of Jenin just as Netanyahu travelled to Washington to meet with Trump, who has suggested Jordan and Egypt absorb Palestinians into their countries

Like his predecessors, Trump will keep giving Israel the green light

The president-elect's upcoming Oval Office return is good news for Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right cabinet and bad news for Palestinians in Gaza under Israel's unrelenting air strikes

02 October 2025
