Resumen del Editor

The Trump administration’s “Peace to Prosperity” vision for the Middle East was unveiled on January 28, 2020. What followed over the next eleven months was one of the most fascinating and consequential periods of US foreign policy in a generation, leading to five normalization agreements between Israel and Muslim states. The Abraham Accords achieved what had seemed impossible for decades and set the Middle East on a trajectory toward a broad regional peace.

Aryeh Lightstone is uniquely positioned to tell the story. As the senior advisor to the US ambassador to Israel, he had a front-row seat on events that dramatically altered the dynamics of the Middle East. He was tasked with a complex and sensitive component of the Abraham Accords: turning them into practical action, and doing it quickly—during a pandemic, no less. In addition, he directed the Abraham Fund, led the Abraham Accords Business Summit, and served as the key contact between Israel and the other Accords nations for implementation.

Let My People Know provides a behind-the-scenes account of the strategies that allowed the “Deal of the Century” to be struck, and an unvarnished look at the Middle Eastern idiosyncrasies that factored into the process. A rabbi and an enthralling storyteller, Lightstone paints a vivid picture of the varied cultures and personalities involved. He also offers a glimpse into the day-to-day activities of an embassy.

Finally, he explains what the Biden administration must do better to advance America’s interests abroad. We now have a paradigm for a forward-looking Middle East policy that ultimately benefits the United States. Lightstone makes the case for strategic action to maintain the momentum.

Fascinatingly interesting

Fascinatingly interesting to listen!
Listening to insiders is very interesting and takes the listener like behind the scenes. Very inspiring

Great inside story on the Abraham Accords

I loved hearing Aryeh Lightstone’s fascinating anecdotes about President Trump’s dream team in the Middle East. David Friedman, Jared Kushner, Mike Pompeo and Niki Haley accomplished so much for America and Israel in 4 years. The worst part about “Let My People Know” is the strong disappointment it will leave you that the Trump administration didn’t receive a second term! Anyone who loves America and Israel needs to read this book so we can have higher expectations of what is possible when America treats its Allies like true friends.

Amazing book!

This book was great. Extremely eye opening. Well with the listen. Highly recommend to everyone who loves American, Israel and is looking for a better understanding of foreign policy.

Fenomenal book

What a fantastic book, thank you for writing your experience and for everything you did for the USA and Israel. We need more people like you in power. It is a must read. Congratulations and I am very proud you had such a lifetime experience. What an amazing book. I hope I could meet Aryeh one day and chat!!!

Great and informative book

This book is a must read. I learned quite a bit about the reality of the Middle East and about the politics of Israel from multiple perspectives from around the world.

I highly recommend this book and also the book to compliment this book with the book Bibi the auto biography of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Fascinating look behind the scenes of the Abraham Accords

I had seen these events transpire somewhat in the news and was inspired by the possibility of peace. But to ride along for this behind the scenes journey was truly amazing and inspiring!!!

Wow!

This book was a fantastic behind the scene
look of a miraculous time for US/ Israel history. Thank you areyh for the remarkable book and all your groundbreaking work

let my people know

It was very informative about the corruption that is going on all over in the government. So sad that it has come to this. I really enjoyed it

A lot of self-congratulations, not much details about the actual diplomacy

I can’t say I learned much about the inner workings of diplomacy in the Middle East from this book. I did learn a lot about Lightstones political views. I guess that’s also something.
