The Future of Palestine Debate

Written By Nadia Naser

THE FUTURE OF PALESTINE | The economics of a viable state

Nadia Naser-Najjab, Camila Vergara, Guy Standing and Uriel Abulof discuss the political economy of Palestine. 

How did we get to where we are now, and where do we go from here? 

Since October 7th, the world has watched as Israel's war has reduced Gaza to rubble with 85% of the Palestinian population displaced. For a long-term solution to the crisis many look to a two-state solution which has widespread international support. But for it to work, the Palestinian state would need to be economically viable and capable of becoming independently successful.

How can this be achieved? Join professor of Palestinian Studies Nadia Naser-Najjab, political theorist Camila Vergara, professor of politics at Tel-Aviv University Uriel Abulof, and professor of development studies Guy Standing to explore how it might be possible to create a Palestinian state that brings lasting peace to the Middle East.
