BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, Israel, Gaza and the view from the Middle East

What impact has the Israel-Gaza conflict had on diplomacy in the Middle East?

The impact of October 7th's attacks on Middle East diplomacy, the volunteers tending to Israel's dead, Thai workers on Israeli farms and reporters trying to cover events in Gaza.

Pascale Harter introduces insights and analysis from BBC correspondents around the world.

Frank Gardner weighs up the consequences of the Israel-Gaza conflict on diplomacy across the wider Middle East.

Jonathan Head explains why thousands of Thais have come to work on Israel's farms and orchards, and how some were killed or abducted by Hamas' gunmen.

Joel Gunter witnesses the work of the ultra-Orthodox volunteers of Israel's Zaka organisation, who have taken on the responsibility of collecting the mortal remains of those killed in fatal accidents and terrorist attacks.

And Jon Donnison outlines the current difficulties of reporting from Gaza when journalists are being denied entry by Israel and Egypt - and pays tribute to those who are working there while under siege.
