With emergency meetings of the UN Security Council and the European Union foreign ministers, the diplomatic community is trying to come up with initiatives which may stop the escalation of violence and the level of Israeli military intervention against the Palestinians.

Frank Gardner examined how far the Palestinian Authority has been undermined and asked what remains of the infrastructure and the state?

Teachers
