Watch: Three news2day explainers on Palestine

There was a massive news story this week as Ireland officially recognised the state of Palestine. news2day have been covering stories from the region a lot this year - including explainer videos.

So, here are three videos in one place that you can all watch in class or at home to find out what is going on. Just press play on the images to watch them here.

Starting up top, there's the most recent story on the recognition of Palestine. Then below, we show you what people mean when they talk about the Two-State Solution.

Barry was joined in studio by RTÉ's Deputy Foreign Editor Edmund Heaphy who walked us through what the Two-State Solution means.

And, to really get to know what is happening we go back to last year to explain the conflict overall. It's always very important to learn history because it can help to explain where we are now.

Press play in the video above which takes us right back through time to how the conflict began and why those in power in the area have struggled to maintain peace.
