BBC Radio 4 - Across the Divide, The West Bank

A Palestinian from a refugee camp and an Israeli settler.

Israeli and Palestinian societies are divided by history, conflict and trauma. But they are also inexorably connected. In Across The Divide Zak Brophy speaks with Israelis and Palestinians with different backgrounds and beliefs to learn about their family histories and the reality of their day to day lives. To hear their hopes, fears, dreams and aspirations. Could the testimony of a handful of the millions who are caught up in the conflict reveal some of the nuance and complexity that is so often lost in times of war? In this episode we hear from two people living in the Israeli Occupied West Bank, one living in a Jewish settlement and the other running a Palestinian community arts centre . 

The Across The Divide series is presented and produced by Zak Brophy.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
