Business Matters: 21st Century Israel

Fri, 22 May 15

In our fourth special report from Israel and the Palestinian Territories we are in Jerusalem. This region has been the scene of many short but bloody wars over the past 70 years. Last summer the farms adjoining Israel's border with Gaza came under huge pressure. We speak to the Israeli farmers still trying to restore their land and livelihoods. We examine one of the key facts of life for observant Jews in Israel - the need to observe the Halacha - the Jewish religious laws that govern everyday life. Plus Dr Mamdouh Salameh tells us if Saudi Arabia's plans to move away from fossil fuels is realistic. And we hear from McDonald's latest shareholder meeting, where workers protested outside for a wage increase. All this and more discussed with our guests David Rosenberg, business editor of the daily Haaretz newspaper and Nasr Abdelkarim, visiting professor at the Arab-American University on the West Bank.
