Palestinian information minister Mustafa Barghouti joined Sir David Frost last week on the 18th to discuss the factional in-fighting within Gaza between Fatah and Hamas. This conflict, along with Israeli attacks against Hamas, threatens to destroy the democratic Palestinian unity government. Things have gotten significantly worse since the interview took place.

Ali Allawi is a former senior adviser to the prime minister of Iraq and a former minister of defense and minister of finance. He joined Sir David Frost to discuss his new book The Occupation of Iraq: Winning the War, Losing the Peace, and how his perceptions of the current situation in Iraq support those of Chatham House.
