Enemies and Neighbors by Ian Black is a book that explores the history of the Arab-Zionist conflict from 1917 to 2017, covering the major events, personalities, and issues that have shaped the relationship between Palestinians and Israelis. The book is based on extensive research and interviews and offers a balanced and comprehensive account of one of the most complex and controversial conflicts in the world.
The book was published in 2017 to mark the centenary of the Balfour Declaration, which expressed British support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and the 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War, which resulted in Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
