We look back on the region鈥檚 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 Orla Guerin, the 麻豆社鈥檚 senior international correspondent, Dr Ahron Bregman, senior teaching fellow at King鈥檚 College London and Dr Julie Norman, an Associate Professor in Politics and International Relations at UCL.

They explore how the decision by then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to 鈥渄isengage鈥� from Gaza and withdraw 9,000 Israeli settlers still looms large over the current conflict in the region.
