Tragic events at Netzarim Junction was used as a starting point for a stimulating discussion on the situation in the Middle East today.

The small outpost in the Gaza Strip encapsulated the desperate nature of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict for Israeli director Ilan Ziv.

Ziv was joined by comedian Jeremy Hardy, former BBC Middle East correspondent Jeremy Bowen and journalist David Aaronovitch for an hour of reflection which offered an interesting variety of perspectives from informed commentators and made for a thought-provoking but worrying debate on the state of affairs in Israel and Palestine.
