BBC News - HARDtalk, A.B. Yehoshua

Tim Franks meets author A.B. Yehoshua, known as one of Israel's great men of letters.

A.B. Yehoshua is one of Israel's great men of letters. His latest book is seen as an allegory of the journey Israeli Jews need now to take. Can he chart a way through the quagmire?

The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians arouses passions like few others. But on one thing most people can agree: that there's no prospect of the struggle ending anytime soon. So given the failure of the politicians and the diplomats, the militants and the liberals - what should we take from the words of the writer? A.B. Yehoshua is known as one of Israel's great men of letters.  His latest book is seen by some as a powerful allegory of the journey Israeli Jews need now to take. So can he chart a way through the quagmire? And why does he have such a low opinion of Jews outside Israel?
