Guardian Focus podcast: The Palestine papers

The spotlight has fallen on the stalled - some day dead - Middle East peace process this week as thousands of pages of secret material were shared with the Guardian by al-Jazeera TV. Ian Black , the Guardian's Middle East editor, unpacks the week's releases, and explains their significance beyond embarassment for the Palestinians. Our correspondent in Jerusalem, Harriet Sherwood , explains how the story has played out there: an unexpected calmness, suggesting widespread scepticism over the peace process. Ghada Karmi , a fellow at the Institute of Arab & Islamic Studies at Exeter University, reveals her shock at Palestinian negotiators willingness to cede refugees' right of return. Azzam Tamimi , director of the Institute of Islamic Political Thought in London, argues that the leaks should finally bring an end to the way peace has been negotiated, and calls for a long-term truce. Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland says the leaks blow apart Israel's stance that it had no peace partner in the negotiations.
