INTERVIEW with Craig Murray: There is no viable Palestinian state to recogniseGeorge GallowaySep 22, 2025 #MOATS #PalestineState #Starmer The UK has come to this formal recognition of Palestine, says Craig Murray, when there's almost nothing left to recognise. The conversation opens with the UK’s recent formal recognition of a Palestinian state, which Murray critiques as largely symbolic, given the fragmented and largely occupied status of Palestinian territories. Murray describes the financial difficulties of sustaining independent reporting and activism, especially amid declining living standards and widespread public disillusionment. Despite formal recognition, the fragmentation and occupation of Palestinian lands mean there is no functional state to support. In summary, the conversation with Craig Murray offers a multifaceted exploration of the intersections between international diplomacy, covert geopolitics, domestic political upheaval, and the precarious state of independent journalism.
