Publisher's summary

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 US is drawing down its military forces in the Mideast and focusing on matters closer to home. Where’s it all heading?

New York Times best-selling 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 listeners 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

I am profoundly impressed by this book. It has spurred me to pray even more for the Peace of Jerusalem/ Israel and her surrounding neighbors.

Reads like a spy thriller

If my expectations were for Joel to write a dry and boring piece of non fiction, I was definitely wrong. I was on the edge of my seat as Joel shared a very even handed but ultimately hopeful book about the state of the Middle East and it’s hopes for peace.
2 thumbs up!

Great book on recent history of Israeli and Arab relations.

I loved hearing about the “inside baseball” account of the developing relationships between Arab countries and Israel, and their continuing struggle to find a way for peace.

Amazing insight. Learned so much!

This book really has changed my perspective about the Muslim faith. The information and informed insights were eye opening. Now that I've heard the audio version, I intend to purchase a hard copy do that I can study it's contents more thoroughly and retain them better. Mr. Rosenberg, I'm very thankful that God has put you in a position to gather this information and explain it with such credibility. Thank you for being obedient to God's call on your life.
