Headlines in recent days have been dominated by news of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. This follows two years of heightened conflict that has had a devastating impact on the Middle East, and which has also spilled over to cause tensions in other parts of the world. In this episode, regular panellists Rana Mitter and Hannah Skoda are joined by Eugene Rogan, Professor of Modern Middle Eastern History and Fellow of St Antony's College at the University of Oxford, to explore the history of attempts to achieve peace between Israelis and Palestinians. History Behind the Headlines is produced by the team behind BBC History Magazine. For more fascinating stories from the past, head to HistoryExtra, the home of ‘History’s Greatest’ podcasts.
