How to break the cycle? From war in Gaza to a two-state solution?
From the show A death spiral in Gaza with no end in sight, a Middle East peace process that's been moribund for years. What's the point of talking solutions when not even a truce is in sight? In New York next week, France slated to co-chair with Saudi Arabia what's officially billed as a 'UN International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution.' Emmanuel Macron had strongly suggested he would recognize a Palestinian state. Is it still the case? We asked about the pressure on the French president to dial it back. With the U.S silent as Israel pounds Gaza and expands illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank, what does recognizing Palestinian statehood change in practice? On Thursday, Paris will host a springboard event for New York. We heard from civil society participants in the civil society conference hosted by the Paris Peace Forum. How to find common ground to proposals that can win over a population where positions have generally hardened for so long? Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Aurore Laborie and Ilayda Habip.

India-Pakistan: How to break cycle of tensions over Kashmir?
India blaming Pakistan for Kashmir's worst terror attack in years… the killing of 26 tourists with non-Muslims singled out and murdered in front of loved ones. Islamabad denies… Islamabad which blamed Delhi for the March terror attack on a train in Baluchistan. There too, 26 killed… the matching tolls fueling speculation and conspiracy theories. What did happen? And how to break the cycle of repeated tensions over Kashmir, a region carved up at independence from Britain in 1947 and whose borders remain disputed to this day. How far could it go this time? India suspending a vital 1960 treaty that manages water use between the two neighbors, a treaty that held through three subsequent wars. Why is this time different? Then there's Kashmir itself, which on the Indian side lost its partial autonomy in 2019. What's changed inside the Muslim majority region since? And what's changed on the Pakistani side after what had been a period of relative détente? Is this really a fight orchestrated by respective capitals? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip.
