Israel Palestine on Swedish TV 1958-1989 (Swedish: Israel Palestina på svensk tv 1958–1989) is a 2024 documentary film which explores the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict through its coverage by SVT, Sweden's national television service. It was written and directed by Göran Hugo Olsson.[1][2] Some of the footage, such as interviews with Abba Eban, had not been shown since its first broadcast.[3]
The film premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.[1] Helena Lindblad wrote in Dagens Nyheter that the film, despite its "dry" title and 3.5 hour runtime, was "relentlessly interesting."[4]
