Shifting Sands

Will Israel Survive?

Duration: 50 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS North AmericaLatest broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS South Asia

For decades, Israel has defied the enemies who have been hell-bent on its destruction. But today it is feeling increasingly isolated by a 'necklace' of anti-Western, anti-Israeli countries. As the Arab Spring transforms the Middle East and Iran continues to pursue its nuclear ambitions, BBC journalist John Ware visits Israel and discovers a country facing new and unprecedented threats to its very existence - from within and without. Charged with strong emotions, this film offers an honest portrait of a society that is changing, as the world changes even faster around it. Show less
