An historic shift in UK foreign policy towards Israel. Now what?

As Ed Miliband announces sanctions against illegal settlements in the West Bank, the Matts take a holistic look at what the government hopes to achieve and at what cost. Does this make British Jews less safe? Are challenges to Miliband’s level of Jewishness fair? And will this action make any difference to the chances of a two-state solution?

And they welcome the great Emily Maitlis to The New World family. Enjoy! Produced by Matt Withers OFFER: Subscribe to The New World and get a free copy of Paul Mason's new book Reds.
