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 Tom Bateman, the 麻豆社鈥檚 State Department correspondent and before that, Middle East correspondent; Jotam Confino, the Telegraph鈥檚 Middle East correspondent; and Broderick McDonald, Associate Fellow at Kings College London鈥檚 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鈥檚 victory changed the map of the Middle East and fanned the flames of the Israeli-Arab conflict for decades to come.
