from Arab News · host arabnews

As Western nations move to recognize the state of Palestine, the United Nations faces growing questions over whether this changes anything on the ground. Settlements are expanding, Gaza remains under siege and the Security Council is paralysed by US vetoes. On this episode of Frankly Speaking, we hear from Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN secretary-general. We ask if recognition can deliver real statehood. Will the UN confront allegations of genocide in Gaza? And is the Security Council powerless after two years of war?
