This episode of Palestine This Week begins with Hamas’s latest statement that it will not disarm unless a Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. The response came after claims that Hamas had agreed to disarm unconditionally. From there, we take a closer look at Hamas’s position on the two-state solution and how it has changed over time. We also explore the broader history of the two-state proposal—asking the crucial question: who has really rejected it? Has it been Hamas, or has Israel been the consistent obstacle to peace?
