Jane and Jason take listener questions, focusing mostly on the Middle East and the Trump-Putin summit.
They look at the unlikely role of UN peacekeeping forces in the West Bank, whether the UK, Australia, and France recognising Palestinian Statehood would help anything, and ways to unblock potential pathways to peace in Gaza.
Producer: George McDonagh
