Kufa scholars and the talk of representation
The results of a survey conducted by the German Konrad Adenauer Foundation reveal that young generations in the Middle East and North Africa do not largely support a two-state solution. Only 34% of Palestinians under 30 favor this approach, compared to 66% among older Palestinians. The same disparity in attitudes is evident in Arab countries such as Morocco, Tunisia, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt, where political awareness is shifting and perspectives on the Palestinian issue, normalization, and political solutions are evolving. The survey indicates that youth do not associate solving the Palestinian cause with domestic national or political stances; instead, they prioritize their national interests, believing in the legitimacy of rejecting normalization and insisting that solidarity with Palestine should not be used to monopolize nationalism or advance political agendas. It underscores that Arab society is greater than political factionalism, and the attitudes of the new generation reflect a political awareness different from that of previous generations, while individuals retain the right to evaluate foreign policies. National identity is not confined to a singular stance on the Palestinian issue, highlighting the need for a mature political debate that balances solidarity with Palestine and domestic interests.
