I have always advocated against the injustices the Palestinian people have faced. This conflict must be resolved through meaning dialogue with support of the international community. To end the ongoing violence, Palestine must firstly be recognised as a nation-state to end the pain and sorrow to the people of both Palestine and Israel.
