What does Australia’s recognition of Palestine actually achieve?

Australia will recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations in September, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced.

Albanese claims the move will help advance a two-state solution and is “humanity’s best hope” for peace in the Middle East.

Today, contributing editor of The New Daily, Amy Remeikis discusses what the international community is trying to achieve – and whether it’s too late.
