Israel, Syria and the UAE

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

In this edition, Wyre Davies reflects on how the Syrian conflict is inevitably preoccupying neighbouring Israel. But why and how is the fighting particularly affecting one of his favourite places in the Middle East - the wild and rugged Golan Heights? In a much more manicured environment (in every sense) Paul Moss is nevertheless much less comfortable - enduring an excruciating encounter party with members of Dubai's expatriate elite.
