More than half of the Palestinian people live in exile, and it should be fully within their right to return home, Al-Shabaka's Yara Hawari tells The New Arab Voice podcast. But that right has been consistently denied by administrations since Israel's establishment in 1948.

“All Palestinians are branded as either being a terrorist or having the potential to become a terrorist,” says Yara Hawari. “When you dehumanize people in such a way then you can excuse doing inhuman things to them.”

The European Union has been criticised for caving-in to Israeli pressure following its adoption of a new funding criterion, which critics have warned is intended to criminalise Palestinian dissent.

Several countries facing social and economic upheaval and a perceived threat from Iran fail to challenge Trump's plan.

Palestinian Authority says it will go to United Nations, as analysts warn leaders must take action soon.

President Donald Trump unveiled his Middle East peace plan at the White House Tuesday, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his side.

Palestinians are skeptical of the Trump administration’s long-anticipated Middle East peace plan, calling it the ‘steal of the century,’ after President Trump unveiled the complete proposal Tuesday.
