12 YOUNG ISRAELIS AND PALESTINIANS TO SHARE HOUSE AND DISCUSS MID EAST CONFLICT IN REALITY TV SHOW FILMED IN MARSEILLE A GROUP of young Israelis and Palestinians are to share a house


together in a new French reality TV show that aims to show that a resolution can be found to the conflict in the Middle East. _Les Accords de Marseille_ will launch in September on France 5,


set in a mansion near Marseille. The 12 participants - six Israeli and six Palestinian - will be filmed as they negotiate their differences and attempt to find a roadmap to Middle East


peace. Director Mohamed Ulad said the programme would distance itself from the traditional _Big Brother_ and _Secret Story_ format. There would be no live footage from the house and no


cameras in bedrooms. Any cross-border romantic liaisons that arise during the three-week filming will not be shown on screen. Instead, he said he wanted to show how 12 young people with


political differences can co-habit, share their leisure time and socialise for the first time. Each side will be accompanied in the house by a mentor who will help launch the discussions but


has been instructed not to interfere in the talks. rrodrickbeiler - Fotolia.com
