In the leadup to a United Nations conference in New York City to discuss Palestine and a two-state solution, the Trump administration discouraged governments around the world from attending. The conference was set to take place on June 17-20 but was postponed in early June, partly in response to US pressure. In their Left & the Law segment, Jan Haaken and Mike Snedeker talk about the UN and international law as well as the lawlessness of Israel and the United States. They take up the growing support globally for a one-state solution given Israel's ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza, intensified settler violence against Palestinians, and the ongoing seizure of Palestinian lands in the Occupied Territories. The ruthlessness of Israel has both exposed the fault-lines of proposed two-state solutions and opened the horizons of what's possible.
