Doing Business In The West Bank

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

In our second special report from Israel and the Palestinian Territories, we go to the West Bank to see how companies operate when investment and trade is inhibited by occupation. We hear from firms in Bethlehem and a tour guide in Jericho, as well as a representative from the Israeli authorities, and a World Bank official. As six Chinese citizens are arrested in connection with economic espionage in the US, we ask what this will do to relations between the two countries. And we speak to the White House about Barack Obama's fight to save the declining honey bee. (Image: West Bank, BBC)
