Israel and the Palestinians: The Road to 7(th) October

 

Zinc Media Group plc (AIM: ZIN), the award-winning television, brand and audio
production group, announces the launch of a new BBC documentary series,
chronicling the decisions that have shaped Israeli-Palestinian conflict over
the past two decades.

 

Created by Zinc's globally-renowned production company, Brook Lapping, the
creator of Putin vs. The West, and produced by award-winning documentary film
maker, Norma Percy, Israel and the Palestinians: The Road to 7(th) October
will be broadcast on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer in early March 2025.

 

The series features exclusive interviews with key figures including: US
Secretaries of State, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Condoleezza Rice,
President Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, Former UK Prime Minister Tony
Blair, Israeli Prime Ministers, Ehud Olmert and previously unseen extracts
from an interview from the late Ariel Sharon, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni,
Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, and the late Palestinian negotiator
Saeb Erekat.

 

The documentary also hears from Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in a rare
interview weeks before he was killed - the only documentary interview he gave
after October 7(th).

 

Jo Carr, Head of BBC Current Affairs, comments:

 

"Norma Percy is unrivalled in her ability to get access to the most powerful
players. Her documentaries bring clarity and insight to the historic events
from the people who were in the room when key decisions were made, offering
unique insight to viewers."

 

Mark Browning, Chief Executive Officer, Zinc Media Group, comments:

 

"This series further demonstrates Brook Lapping's stellar reputation as the
go-to producer of high quality documentaries that delve into important
contemporary events and help shape conversations.

 

It's this established credbility and our solid relationships based on trust,
that keep clients returning to Zinc companies year after year, underpining the
confidence we have in our long-term growth."
