With two programmes to listen to each week. Ever since the events of October 7th 2023, the world can no longer avert its gaze from Gaza and the Westbank. With Beirut based journalist Kim Ghattas and Clingendael-researcher Erwin van Veen we will discuss what came before the 7th of October and analyse the role of key regional players such as Iran and Saudi Arabia. ‘At its core, the current turmoil in the Middle East is about the longest occupation in modern history, one that leaves the Palestinians dispossessed while Israel quests relentlessly for its security’, says Kim Ghattas. But in understanding the events of last year, Ghattas argues that the regional context is a key component. Kim Ghattas (The Atlantic, Financial Times) shines a light on the latest dynamics, putting the war in Gaza in regional and historical context. Together with Middle East expert Erwin van Veen Ghattas will discuss the role and goals of regional powers such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Hamas and Hezbollah. How is the war in Israel and Palestine affecting the wider region? Will we soon see concrete steps towards a Palestinian state? Is there a durable way out of this? Or, is peace less attainable the longer the war goes on?
