Dr. Ardi Imseis, Professor of International Law at Queen’s University in Canada and legal counsel to the State of Palestine in its case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), offers insight into the potential impact of this recognition and what developments might unfold at the UN in the coming weeks. jd@jamaldajani.comJess,Ghannam,Jamal,Dajani tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/2166584862 Sun, 07 Sep 2025 21:50:29 +0000 https://soundcloud.com/arabtalk/why-the-gaza-riviera-is-doomed 00:59:19 News You Can Use with Jamal Dajani & Jess Ghannam no Can a Gaza reconstruction that excludes Palestinian heritage, silences their participation, and denies their suffering truly succeed?
