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

Listen just for the psychology of a sycophat

Wow, Joel Rosenberg takes the biscuit in this book. I went in with an open mind to hopefully get good insight and a contemporary view of the middle east, and its complexity. I was sold on the interviews and discussions with such an amazing cast of players involved, and there is no doubt Rosenberg gets access to the most influential people involved in the most recent events in the ME. What I couldn't stand however was the self-indulgent and sycophantic approach. You have to listen to believe it. Was actually yelling out loud at points, and was so nearly scrapping this whole book at the unashamble defending of Kashoggi murder by the Saudis (which Rosenberg tries to crawl back from) but I was compelled to listen on just to see how far Rosenberg would go with his agenda. He didn't let up.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
