Episode: Iraq's parliament starts off on wrong foot; the US-Palestine relationship
Description: The first day of Iraq's new parliament was a chaotic one. Where does the new government go from here?

Why has the US-Palestine relationship become so fraught?
We discuss both Iraq's new parliament and the US-Palestine situation with The National's foreign desk in this episode of Beyond the Headlines.
