Unpacking Conflicts in the Middle East

Is the war between Israel and Hamas triggering violence in faraway Pakistan, or the Red Sea? And if so, how? What, if anything, is being done to try to put out these brush fires?

There’s a lot going on in and around the Middle East, From Gaza to Iran, Iraq to Yemen, it seems barely a day goes by without reports of some new flashpoint, some new complication in the region’s already fiendishly complicated politics. And none of it seems to bode well. For months, we’ve been hearing warnings of the danger of a wider, regional conflict.

In this 5 Questions On podcast, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Paul Adams, Yolande Knell, Frank Gardner, Hugo Bachega and Anthony Zurcher unpack some of these developments, bring you up to date and see where these disparate issues connect.
