Britain Palestine Project Situation Report.
Posted: 5th March 2026
Peace with justice, security and equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians
We are pleased to introduce a new spin-off podcast series from the Britain Palestine Project Situation Report.
In this series, we (BPP Chair Andrew Whitley and Trustee Sir Vincent Fean)sit down for a candid, unscripted conversation on the latest developments shaping Palestine, Israel and Britain’s role in the region.
Recorded every two months, each episode explores the most pressing issues of the moment – from diplomatic shifts and legal developments to UK policy decisions and global political trends that could reshape the landscape.
There is no fixed script. Just informed analysis, decades of diplomatic and policy experience, and honest reflection on what is happening and what it means.
Key themes discussed in Episode 1 — The State of Gaza, the West Bank and Britain’s Role:
- The impact of wider regional tensions
- The humanitarian situation in Gaza
- The relationship between Gaza and the West Bank
- Settlement expansion and the E1 project
- International law and accountability
- Israeli domestic politics
- The role of the UK government
If you are looking for context beyond the headlines, grounded in international law, diplomacy and lived experience, this is your regular strategic briefing.
The Britain Palestine Project Situation Report will be available on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.
We hope you will tune in.
With best wishes,
Andrew & Vincent
