The U.S. Won’t Recognize Palestine Even if Everyone Else Does

Nearly 150 countries have recognized a Palestinian state as of September 22, and the U.S. and Israel aren’t happy. Marco Rubio says these countries are “embolden[ing] Hamas,” while Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to annex the West Bank if global solidarity with Palestine grows. Zeiad Abbas Shamrouch of the Middle East Children’s Alliance joins The Global Power Report to unpack these developments as the genocide in Gaza continues. Produced, directed and edited by Rosie Bultman.
