For decades, the conflict between Israel and Palestine has been one that has crossed borders and become of international interest. In this week’s episode, professors Jeremy Pressman and Mira Sucharov share, with singular knowledge, their point of view on the conflict—and the way forward. In conversation with Daniel C. Kurtzer, they examine the default use of military force on both sides.

Sucharov brings personal experience from her book Borders and Belonging: A Memoir, vulnerably relating her search for a political and emotional home, one that led her to live in Israel for three years in her twenties.

Of all subjects of scholarly inquiry, few could be more contentious than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. How might we research and teach our way through it in an age of narrowing conversations? Two authors who have written extensively on the topic discuss their thoughts on engaging the history and contemporary politics of Palestine and Israel today. When seeking to reach a wider audience, what are the unwritten conventions (and expectations) that authors transgress at their peril? Exploring questions of identity, morality, authenticity, objectivity and the responsibility of those undertaking research to elucidate and inform, the panellists will draw on the challenges they have faced in seeking to make accessible, beyond academia, their most recent works. Seth Anziska will recount some of the reactions he encountered after publishing his book Preventing Palestine: A Political History from Camp David to Oslo last year, and Rosemary Hollis will talk about the responses she has encountered to the line of argument she develops in her new book Surviving the Story: The Narrative Trap in Israel and Palestine. (Speaker presentations for the first 55 minutes followed by a Q&A discussion). About the speakers: In her career Rosemary Hollis PhD has worked in academia and the ‘think tank’ community, focusing on the involvement of the EU, the US and the UK in conflicts in the Middle East. She was Director of the Olive Tree Scholarship Programme for Palestinians and Israelis (2008-16) and Professor of Middle East Policy Studies (2012-18) at City, University of London. Before that, Rosemary was Director of Research (2005-08) and Head of the Middle East Programme (1995-2005) at Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs) in London. Seth Anziska is the Mohamed S. Farsi-Polonsky Associate Professor of Jewish-Muslim Relations at University College London. His research and teaching focuses on Israeli and Palestinian society and culture, modern Middle Eastern history, and contemporary Arab and Jewish politics. He was a 2019 Fulbright Scholar at the Norwegian Nobel Institute, and has held visiting positions at Dartmouth College, New York University, the London School of Economics, and the American University of Beirut. The discussion is chaired by Dr Zahera Harb, senior lecturer in International Journalism at City, University of London. Her recent publications include an edited collection titled Reporting the Middle East: the Practice of News in the 21st Century (IB Tauris 2017) and an edited collection with Dina Matar titled Narrating Conflict in the Middle East: Discourse, Image and Communication Practices in Palestine and Lebanon (IB Tauris 2013) and a monograph titled Channels of Resistance: Liberation Propaganda Hezbollah and the Media (IB Tauris, 2011). She has published widely on Journalism and Politics in the Arab countries. She is Associate editor of the internationally renowned top ranking academic journal Journalism Practice.

The Middle East: could you mention something more complicated, contentious, and uncertain? And now with Trump... In this edition of the podcast, I speak to Daniel C. Kurtzer, who from 1997 to 2001 was the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt, and then from 2001 to 2005 the Ambassador to Israel. We talk about Jamal Khashoggi's killing and Saudi Arabia more broadly, continue into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the complexity of narratives surrounding it, and the overall importance of studying history. To conclude, we talk about being Jewish and a high level ambassador, a part that I really enjoyed. Amb. Kurtzer spent almost three decades in the Foreign Service (being a diplomat in the State Department, but at not appointed by the President and as a career), working in back channel negotiations between Syria and Israel, and as a planner and speech writer for Secretaries of States. In 2007, he was commissioner of the Israel Baseball League, an ultimately unsuccessful professional baseball league in Israel. Currently, Amb. Kurtzer is the S. Daniel Abraham Professor in Middle East Policy Studies at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

In the run-up to the 10th anniversary of the war in Afghanistan, Andrew Marr discusses foreign intervention with the Conservative MP Rory Stewart and the former intelligence officer, Frank Ledwidge. Stewart looks back at the conflict to ask whether simple notions of winning foreign wars is counterproductive, while Ledwidge turns a critical eye on the army's lack of strategic thinking which he argues led to catastrophic failures in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The BBC's security correspondent Gordon Corera discusses the role of the British secret service, from the Cold War days of spies lurking in the shadows, to the disaster of the 'dodgy dossier' on Iraq. And Dr Rosemary Hollis, Professor of Middle East Policy Studies, considers the impact of recent revelations of complicity with Gaddafi's regime, and how 9/11 has skewed international relations. Producer: Katy Hickman.
