"Why Israel Needs a Palestinian State." The Economist, 26 May 2017, p. 11.
This article, "Why Israel Needs a Palestinian State," covers the current state of affairs between Israel and Palestinians as Palestinians fight both literally and politically for a state. After coming out on top following the Six Days War, Israel became the controller of the Holy Sites of Jerusalem. However, with this came an everlasting feud of control for that territory against its previous inhabitants, the Palestinians. President Donald Trump comes into play to today's politics on the matter. He made promises to the Israeli Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, to bring a US Embassy to Jerusalem, but also could hold off to create a second Embassy in Jerusalem for the Palestinians, which would force Israel to recognize them as a state. This article ties into our learning of the development of the Jewish State of Israel after World War II, by showing the current day state of a feud between the Israelis and Palestinians that has been going on since. Furthermore, it also ties to the significance of recognizing a nation, because without recognition a country isn't a country in the eyes of the global community, as with the case of Palestine.
