A group of leading Israelis and Palestinians discuss the worsening crisis in the Middle East.

It occurs after US president, George W Bush, called on both sides to 鈥渂reak with the past鈥�. The debate was organised by the 麻豆社, and took place in Jerusalem with the aim to sit officials from both sides at the same table to work towards a common future.
