"Palestinian Authority's Decline Amid Israeli Pressure and Financial Strain"

The Palestinian Authority (PA) is on the brink of collapse due to financial insolvency, internal corruption, and Israeli policies undermining its authority. Despite recent international recognitions of Palestine, the PA's inability to govern effectively poses a significant risk to the viability of a Palestinian state. To advance a two-state solution, international actors must focus on strengthening the PA's governance and economic stability before recognizing statehood, using targeted measures to curb Israeli encroachments and support Palestinian state-building efforts.
