Do recent changes in the Middle East signal peace? One Arab country after another is signing historic, game-changing peace, trade, investment, and tourism deals with Israel. At the same time, Russia, Iran, and Turkey are forming a highly dangerous alliance that could threaten the Western powers. Meanwhile, the U.S. is drawing down its military forces in the Mideast and focusing on matters closer to home. Where's it all heading? New York Times bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg, based in Jerusalem, skillfully and clearly explains the sometimes-encouraging, sometimes-violent, yet rapidly shifting landscape in Israel and the Arab/Muslim world. Enemies and Allies will take readers behind closed doors in the Middle East and introduce them to the very kings and crown princes, presidents and prime ministers who are leading the change. Includes exclusive, never-before-published quotes, insights, and analysis from the author's conversations with some of the most complex and controversial leaders in the world: - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) - Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi - Jordan's King Abdullah II - United Arab Emirates' Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ) - Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu - Israeli president Reuven Rivlin.… (more)

Awful inane Christianity-infused selfindulgent drivel.

I was pretty close to smashing up my Kindle with frustration after just two chapters.

Please join me in praying that this author henceforth sticks to fiction.

I was unfortunate enough to receive an advance copy from Netgalley and Tyndale House Publishers without realising the it was listed as "Christian | Nonfiction (Adult) | Politics". It'll teach me to be more careful in the future. Congrats to Libby Dykstra for making the cover look like serious non-fiction.

Never mind, sometimes you just get an utter dud. Let's hope this was my only one for this year.

Epigraph

Dedication

To my amazing team at All Israel News and All Arab News--Israelis, Palestinians, Lebanese, and Americans--what an honor it is to cover the unfolding story of enemies and allies in this part of the world with you each and every day. May God bless you for your dedication to seeking and reporting the truth, come what may.

First words

[Preface] It has long been sad, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."

I first met Mike Pompeo in June 2016, when he was serving his third term as a congressman from Kansas.
