Israeli Foreign Policy

"Uri Bialer has brought together a comprehensive work that will appeal to those who wish to understand Israel, international relations, and the principals of policy making when global interests cannot be ignored."—Donna Robinson Divine, author of Exiled in the Homeland

"A serious reader will put this book down having gained a very good sense of Israel's dealings with other nations in its early years."—Alan Dowty, author of Arabs and Jews in Ottoman Palestine

"Uri Bialer is one of the founding fathers of the field of Israeli diplomatic history. As such, he has published several books and over 30 articles on a variety of topics ranging from Israel's oil diplomacy, relations with the Christian world, and strategic relations with Iran as well as Cold War orientation in the 1950s. His new book covers most of these topics. Beyond that, in essence, the book promises to provide fresh perspectives on some of these issues and thus to become a textbook of Israel's diplomatic history accessible to students, policy-makers, and non-experts."—Dr. Eldad Ben Aharon, Diplomacy and Statecraft

"[Israeli Foreign Policy] will appeal to a wide audience of military, diplomatic and country specialist scholars, and will be sure to generate further discussion."—Matthew Hughes, Middle Eastern Studies
