Hamas' attack on Israeli towns and Israel's subsequent military operation in the Gaza Strip has escalated the Middle East conflict once again. Can we still hope for peace? Our guest is P. Dr Nikodemus Schnabel OSB, Abbot of the Dormition Abbey in Jerusalem, who knows the situation on the ground from a special perspective. We talk to him about the current situation in the Middle East, the coexistence of different religions and cultures and the situation of the Christian population.
