BBC News

The BBC's podcast on the Middle East. Hosted by Jonny Dymond.

The Conflict: Israel-Gaza

We look back on the region’s history and discuss what it can teach us about the future.

Jonny Dymond brings together a carefully curated panel of experts, academics and journalists to talk about the conflict in the Middle East.

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 Dr Ahron Bregman, from King’s College London, and the BBC’s International Editor, Jeremy Bowen.

In the second of two special episodes, they focus in on the former Israeli leader, Ariel Sharon. Last week’s episode covered another leader who bestrode the modern Middle East - Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

This episode was made by Keiligh Baker and Eleanor Harrison-Dengate. The technical producers were John Scott and Michael Regaard. The assistant editor is Ben Mundy. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.

This episode is part of a BBC Sounds series. The discussion was recorded at 15:00 on Friday 6 December 2024.

Leaders: What Is Ariel Sharon’s Legacy?

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 Tom Bateman, the BBC’s State Department correspondent and before that, Middle East correspondent; Jotam Confino, the Telegraph’s Middle East correspondent; and Broderick McDonald, Associate Fellow at Kings College London’s International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation. 

They explore the Six Day War - also known as the Arab-Israeli war - a brief, but bloody conflict fought in June 1967 between Israel and the Arab states of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. Israel’s victory changed the map of the Middle East and fanned the flames of the Israeli-Arab conflict for decades to come. 

This episode was made by Keiligh Baker and Sally Abrahams. The technical producer was Ben Andrews. The assistant editor is Ben Mundy. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.

This episode is part of a BBC Sounds series. It was recorded at 12:30 on Monday 16 December 2024.

Six Day War (1967): What Next For Syria and Israel?

What’s happening now and what could happen next? Lyse Doucet, the BBC’s chief international correspondent, provides context and clarity on the events in Israel and Gaza.

In this first podcast of a new series, she’s joined by international editor Jeremy Bowen, who like Lyse, lived and worked in Jerusalem in the 1990s and has covered all of the conflicts since.

They talk about why the latest attacks feel very different to what has been seen before.

The Conflict Erupts Into War

Lyse Doucet and Jeremy Bowen are back to take a closer look at what’s happening on the ground.

We also hear BBC reporting inside Gaza, where our correspondent says the bombings were the worst he’d seen in 20 years.
