We look back on the region’s history and discuss what it can teach us about the future.
Jonny Dymond brings together a carefully assembled panel of experts, academics and journalists to talk about the conflict in the region.
What has happened in history to lead us to this point? And, what can history teach us about what might happen next?
This week, Jonny is joined by senior BBC correspondent and Middle East expert Jane Corbin, historian James Barr, and the BBC’s Middle East correspondent, Yolande Knell.
They explore the violence and civil war in the run up to Britain’s withdrawal from its Palestine mandate, Israel’s declaration of independence, and the war with Arab states that followed.
