                  The horror and confusion of events in Israel and Gaza 
leaves us with so many questions, many of which are very hard to answer. But 
amid the daily barrage of news reports, often unverified, we’re here to 
bring you calm analysis and deep understanding from leading experts in the 
region and its complex politics and history.

                  I’ve been talking to Simon Mabon, professor of 
international relations at Lancaster University, about how the unravelling 
conflict could affect the wider Middle East region. Is the much-vaunted 
peace agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia now dead in the water? How 
is Iran likely to react to the escalation in violence? And where does this 
leave the already diminishing prospects of a two-state solution for Israel 
and Palestine? All these questions and more are answered in our Middle East 
Q&A.

                  And here’s a rolling update of The Conversation’s analysis 
across all its sites.

                  We’ve also got experts in physics and astronomy to explain 
why they believe the afterglow of a massive collision between two giant 
planets has been detected for the first time – and that the wreckage could 
one day form an entirely new planet.

                  Is the much-heralded Israel-Saudi peace deal now dead? And 
how is Iran likely to respond? An expert in Middle Eastern politics explains


                  The afterglow of an explosive collision between giant 
planets may have been detected in a far-off star system

Leiden University; Zoe Leinhardt, University of Bristol

                  The discovery provides a way to study the birth of an 
entirely new planet in real time.


                          a.. Your immune system makes its own antiviral 
drug − and it’s likely one of the most ancient
                          Neil Marsh, University of Michigan

                          The human body has been making antivirals for 
eons, long before scientists did. A protein in your cells called viperin 
produces molecules that work similarly to the COVID-19 antiviral remdesivir.

                          b.. How collective memories fuel conflicts
                          Olumba E. Ezenwa, Royal Holloway University of 
London

                          We need to embed collective memory in conflict 
resolution strategies.

                          c.. Comets 101 − everything you need to know about 
the snow cones of space
                          Shannon Schmoll, Michigan State University

                          There’s a flurry of excitement every time a comet 
comes into view from Earth. But what are these celestial objects, and where 
do they come from?

                          d.. How to read Haruki Murakami in English the 
Japanese way – in four steps
                          Gitte Marianne Hansen, Newcastle University

                          Japanese and English readers have read Murakami in 
quite different contexts and chronologies.




                  The Black Book is a gritty new thriller that raises the 
bar for Nollywood
                  Ezinne Ezepue, University of Nigeria

                  High action and outspoken politics meet digital-first 
thinking and a global hit is made.


                  Unmasking Banksy – the street artist is not one man but a 
whole brand of people
                  Tyson Mitman, York St John University

                  The scale of his work and the control he has over his 
brand suggests that Banksy is not just one man anymore.
