In the first two episodes of this three-part series, we traced the roots of the Israel–Palestine question - from the legacies of colonialism and partition in 1948 to the cycles of displacement, violence, and negotiations that followed. In this third and final episode, we shift the lens to the present, asking how the rest of the world is responding to a crisis that refuses to fade. 

While the United States continues to offer unwavering support to Israel, parts of Europe have moved towards recognizing Palestinian as a state. India has attempted to walk a fine line, balancing its historic solidarity with Palestine and its growing strategic ties with Israel.  

Through these faultlines, one theme emerges clearly: the Israel–Palestine question is no longer confined to the region. It has become a test of international order, reshaping diplomacy, alliances, and public opinion across the world.
