One Jewish State

Praise for ONE JEWISH STATE: THE LAST, BEST HOPE TO RESOLVE THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT by Ambassador David Friedman

“Argues with compelling reason and great passion, that keeping God’s will to grant Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria offers the best outcome for all the inhabitants of the land — Jewish, Muslim, Christian and Druze. Whether in terms of security, prosperity, education or regional cooperation, Ambassador Friedman makes the case that Israeli sovereignty achieves the best result. No one should be surprised that God’s vision is, indeed, the best path to peace and prosperity!”

—MIKE POMPEO, 70th United States Secretary of State and New York Times bestselling author of Never Give an Inch

“It takes little insight to understand the fallacy of a “two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, especially after the barbaric assault by Hamas against innocent Israelis on October 7, 2023. But it takes real vision and understanding to offer an alternative. In ONE JEWISH STATE, Ambassador David Friedman brilliantly argues for Israeli sovereignty over all of Judea and Samaria as the best outcome for Jews, Christians and Palestinians alike and as the means by which to actualize God’s will as expressed in the Bible. Ambassador Friedman is uniquely qualified to offer this perspective and his new book is essential reading for those who seek a better future for the Middle East.”

“David Friedman is the single most important American-Jewish voice on Israel since Louis Brandeis. His vision is clear, compelling, and realistic. He is not one for useless theorizing or starry-eyed myth making. Which is why his vision is not only likely to become reality — it may be the only vision that can become reality.”

—BEN SHAPIRO, nationally syndicated radio talk show host, founder of The Daily Wire and New York Times bestselling author of The Right Side of History

“As someone who has been visiting Israel since the summer of 1973, I have long thought that the politicians and diplomats who trumpeted a “2 State Solution” were delusional in advocating an impractical, unworkable, and irrational plan that would not result in gains for Arabs who call themselves Palestinians, but would only endanger Jews living in their homeland. Repeated rejections and ensuing violence by the Palestinian Authority and every group associated with them should have rendered this long advocated “solution” as outdated and useless as the rotary dial phone, but sometimes bad ideas are just easier than better ones. Ambassador David Friedman dares to deliver a bold idea that serves neither politicians nor diplomats but does serve common sense. I salute him for his creativity and courage, but more importantly for the sound reasoning behind it. This IS the solution the world has been missing.”

—MIKE HUCKABEE, nationally syndicated tv talk show host and New York Times bestselling author of The Three Cs That Made America Great

“When history judges those who have globally defended and strengthened Israel, Ambassador David Friedman will be at the forefront. In ONE JEWISH STATE, Ambassador Friedman offers a compelling vision for the future of Israel, grounded in his deep understanding of the Jewish state’s biblical history, its politics, and enduring challenges. His eloquent and insightful narrative not only explores the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but also presents a bold and innovative blueprint for peace and unity for all peoples in the region. Friedman's extensive experience as a diplomat and his unwavering commitment to the Torah and the Promised Land of Israel lend this book a unique and authoritative perspective. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the nuances of Middle Eastern geopolitics and the path towards a viable and just resolution.”

“There is little agreement about the best — or even “least worst” — solution to the never-ending conflict between Israel and Palestinians. One point everyone must agree with is that we need new ideas that reflect the new realities, including October 7th. David Friedman is a man of ideas. His ideas, as US ambassador to Israel, helped bring about the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s eternal capitol, the annexation of the Golan Heights and the Abraham Accords. Now he proposes his most controversial idea regarding Greater or Biblical Israel, with significant rights and domestic independence for Arab residents of Judea and Samaria. Whether one accepts or rejects his proposal either as a permanent or temporary solution, it must be considered studied and evaluated against other proposals — none of which have gained traction.”

—ALAN DERSHOWITZ, former Harvard Law Professor and noted academic, lawyer and civil libertarian, and New York Times bestselling author of War Against the Jews

“David Friedman was one of the most respected and effective diplomats in the world under President Trump. He strengthened ties between the United States and its most loyal ally, Israel, and helped to negotiate the historic Abraham Accords. In One Jewish State, David Friedman shatters the fiction of a two-state solution (rendered all but moot by the Hamas attack of October 7), challenges the anti-Israel bias of the international community, and demonstrates that the best path to peace and prosperity for both the Jewish people and the Middle East is to recognize the reality of Israeli sovereignty over its own land, including Judea and Samaria. Even for those who don’t agree, this is a must-read book by one of the most knowledgeable experts and among the keenest observers of Israel and the Middle East in the world today.”

—RALPH REED, founder and chairman of Faith & Freedom Coalition, CEO of Century Strategies, LLC, and bestselling author of For God and Country

"Great insight... Ambassador David Friedman—one of the real lynch-pins of Donald Trump's Israeli and Middle East policy. The name of the book is ONE JEWISH STATE, go get it."

—BRIAN KILMEADE, co-host of Fox & Friends, host of The Brian Kilmeade Show and One Nation with Brian Kilmeade, and New York Times bestselling author of George Washington's Secret Six

“As Israel continues to suffer through its most difficult year since its founding, it desperately needs new and creative thinking, from within its own society and from its allies, to emerge secure and confident, and to recover from its trauma. And it needs to reconnect with its majestic Biblical legacy that has seen it through so many challenges of the past. Israel is the only ancient society still in existence precisely because it has clung to its holy books. One Jewish State, by Ambassador David Friedman, presents exactly that type of thinking. It may not be the only solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but its recommendations should be on the table and up for discussion whenever and wherever the issue arises.”
