The First Intifada (1987): What impact did the Palestinian uprising have?
We take a look at what history can teach us about the conflict in the Middle East.
We look back on the region’s history and discuss what it can teach us about the future.
Jonny Dymond brings together a carefully curated panel of experts, academics and journalists to talk about the conflict in the region.
What has happened in history to lead us to this point? And, what can history teach us about what might happen next?
This week, Jonny is joined by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ security correspondent Frank Gardner, Dr Dina Rezk, associate professor of modern Middle Eastern history at Reading University and Dr H A Hellyer, senior associate fellow at the think tank RUSI.
They explore the First Intifada, a mass uprising by Palestinians, in 1987 against 20 years of Israeli occupation, and its lasting impact on the region.
